The match is scheduled for third on Phillipe Chartiere court, after a womens match and a mens match, that will combine to last 5-6 sets.

Play starts at 11am local time, the matches above will probably last about 3 hours at least, so anytime after 2pm local time I'd guess, which is 8am ET.

It may be on ESPN, it may not. Depends what they feel like showing at the time.

I believe so, yes. ESPN have exclusive US rights to Roland Garros.

Good info :)

If there are pics, I don't know why Matchbook or TBX don't open up some more in-running markets.

Yeah, Nadal should beat Gasquet.

It'll be tough judging from their H2H record though. Both seem to be OK and Nadal's playing alright.

3-1 to Nadal is my guess.

Both like the clay... no edge.
2-0 Nadal Head to head, 33-26 on games... favour Nadal
Gasquet has homefield... advantage or pressure? no edge
Last 20 days: Nadal 136 games, Gasquet 205 games... favour Nadal.

So I like Nadal, but can see it being 3-1 or 3-2

Match will likely be carried on the ESPN Classic coverage.

The problem with ESPN's coverage is they only want to show Americans.

I like the value in the dog, I see Gasquet beating him here. He's lost two 3-setters. This one goes best of 5 instead. Nadal has been playing tons of tennis lately, and Gasquet will have home court to fire him up.

Gasquet had him dead to rites in Monte Carlo and gave it away.

And if the Road Warrior says it, it must be true..

Mary looked good again.

I take back my observations, the coverage on ESPN Classic was stellar, like the old March Madness coverage.
They switched to the end of sets and matches even if they weren't featured.

Gasquet still has a ways to go, he shined at times but was soundly beaten.

I had one of those "oh what could have been" days.

3 big dogs on the money line:
Razzano +290 (had every chance to win this)
Vicente +950 (4-4 in 5th, up 1-0 40-love and managed to lose)
Karatantcheva +680 (thorougly outplayed Venus)

I thought somehow I'd wind up losing all 3, even though the fades were right there.

Unfortunately, Davenport and Moya are big dogs or I'd fade them again.
