Men’s Semifinals
(Friday): In a match that surpassed its aesthetic billing as the
Battle of the Beautiful Backhands and delivered arguably the tournament’s best
match, Richard Gasquet won a berth in the semi-finals at Wimbledon. However,
against Novak Djokovic, substance receded leaving only flash and Gasquet, as
always, was on the outside looking in, wondering what happened to the moment.
Ah, but at least he can relish his relationship with alliteration.
