who taught him a continental forehand? they mustve been very confused if they gave him an extreme backhand grip...his forehand would probably be just as dangerous if he had even an eastern grip
if gasquet had a more agressive forehand his game would be much better, but his technique of switching grips as he backswings is unconventional and forces him to use it only defensively. Shame even if he had an ok western/semiwestern forehand he would be a top 5 player with that bh.
Gasquet's backhand is great, obviously, but it lacks consistency. Wawrinka's is the best o/h backhand, today, as it is tougher to 'break' under pressure.
Great backhand but just doesn't possess the ferocity and awe of power that the Wawrinka backhand possess. Stan has a bone crushing and need I add grand slam winning one hander
I think it's the opposite. Stan has the consistency and the power but Gasquet's backhand is more lethal and he can hit winners from anywhere. Fed and Stan have to set things up and create an opening most of the time before they end with a winner but Gasquet's forehand is so ferocious he can hit winners even when he's on the defense at times. However his forehand takes longer to set up and sometimes not as reliable as Stan's or Fed's but IMO more lethal when it's on and definitely more beautiful and flashy to watch than Stan's or Fed's.
The way Gasquet changes the direction of his shots is absolutely incredible, especially for a one hander.
If Gasquet has a forehand as good as his backhand he would be easily top5
Gasquet turns a neutral or defensive position into a blistering backhand winner. Those shots are almost as fast as Del Potro forehands!
I love the way gasquet gives the one hand backhand its true place
Those Gasket Backhand videos are addictive.
Basically just watch these to cheer myself up.
Perv
You got me: I am a total backhand perv.
No one hits a one handed backhand like Gasquet. However, no one squanders a lead better than Gasquet
This guy should just serve with this backhand..... seriously!

its like he is making a statement: DONT MESS WITH MY BACKHAND!!!!!
103 mph backhand, WTF!!!!!!
Insane
i hope there will be a gasquet greatest backhands part 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17.. and so on LOL!
1.09 first time I saw Murray applaud a opponent winner
3:24 Inside-in cross court backhand.

see nalbandian's... not every two handed are ugly
look at his right arm compared to his left

haven't watched many Richie matches if you think his bh is inconsistent.

If Gasquet's everything is as gd as his backhand he would be up there along with the greatest
imagine a player with backhand like gasquet, forehand like gonzalez, control like federer, running like nadal and has djokovic's flexibility....
And serve like roddick
In 4 parts, I do not know how many times I heard the commentators say "magnificent", "brilliant" and "beautiful";)
And they're right!!
Probably the best backhand ever.
Pauvre Benoit Paire qui fait l'essui glace !
best backhand ever
these videos are awesome! I love his backhand!
His forehand sucks though. Not a good combo.
And who has David Ferrer's never say die attitude.
I love the face he makes when he serves.
And volley like Edberg
Cant believe
