US OPEN MEN'S PROFILES

(12) Richard Gasquet
PRE-TOURNAMENT ODDS:	50/1
NATIONALITY:	FRA
BIRTH DATE:	18/06/86
BECAME PRO:	2002
WORLD RANKING:	12

VERDICT

Gasquet has never really performed to the best of his ability at the U.S Open, reaching the last 16 in 2005 and 2006 but losing in the second round last year. He also reached the last 16 of the Australian Open and Wimbledon but was forced to pull out of the French Open on home soil through injury. Having pulled out of the Beijing Olympics, Gasquet reached the final in Stuttgart and was knocked out by Rafael Nadal in the semi-finals of the Rogers Cup. Could be a threat if he plays to his best but on current form, it's hard to see.
