British tennis player Andy Murray faces a difficult start at the Roland Garros tournament, he will play against the Frenchman Richard Gasquet. Former top 10 player Gasquet won his last 10 matches and won the ATP tournament of Nice, after beating the world number nine Fernando Verdasco in the final. These results will worry Murray because he has been struggling with his form and did not win any titles this year. Although Murray did not win a title this year, he is still the world number four and, therefore, favourite against Gasquet. If Murray wins this match on Monday, he will have to face another giant; Juan Ignacio Chela.

My own opinion / reaction:
I found this a very interesting article because I play tennis myself and I am a fan of Andy Murray. He is a good example for me because he plays attractive tennis and has really good volley’s, which is something I do not have. Personally, I do not think he will win from Gasquet. Murray has not got the form, at the moment, to win big matches and Gasquet has the Parisian crowd behind him, so it is going to be very, very difficult. I hope Murray wins and I am certainly going to watch this match on television.

Hi Jasper,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenA clear and interesting write up. Only one tense error in your summary:
If Murray will win -> if Murray wins...
Otherwise very well done, keep it up.
Kate
Dear Jasper,
