Djokovic beats Gasquet to reach Wimbledon final
Wimbledon: Defending champion Novak Djokovic beat Frenchman Richard Gasquet in straight sets to reach the Wimbledon men’s singles final here on Friday.
The World No.1 Serb, also the winner in 2011, won 7-6(2), 6-4, 6-4 in two hours and 20 minutes and extended his record against the 21st seeded Gasquet to 12-1 at the All England Club, reports Xinhua.
It was Djokovic’s seventh consecutive Wimbledon semifinal and after losing to Stan Wawrinka in the French Open final. He looks in form to win a second Grand Slam title in 2015 after the Australian Open victory in January.
The 28-year-old will next take on the winner of the other semifinal between seven-time champion Roger Federer and 2013 winner Andy Murray, which will be held later on Centre Court.
The final will be held on Sunday.
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
