Seeding 8
World Ranking 9
Enjoyed a thrilling run to the last four 12 months ago, with a come-from-behind quarter-final victory over Andy Roddick being the memorable moment. However, a return to the semis looks unlikely. Last year's efforts - Gasquet qualified for the season-ending Masters Cup - appear to have caught up with him. A poor season so far has seen the French star fatigued and he pulled out of his home Grand Slam due to a knee problem.
