We have a weird final at the Kremlin Cup as the seed no.1 Richard Gasquet will play Mikhail Kukushkin that came straight from the qualifications.
Gasquet – Karlovic 6-4 7-5
Richard had the terrible task of facing Ivo Karlovic that has arguably the best service on tour, but he clearly struggles with his ground strokes. So it was just about putting the ball down on Karlovic’s serve. The world no.10 succeeded in the task to break Karlovic once per set. Match Stats
Kukushkin – Seppi 6-1 1-6 6-4
Mikkail Kukushkin is quite an interesting player as he is not a guy used to be at the top of the rankings, but he is capable of producing improbable upsets. In Moscow he came straight from the qualifications without dropping a single set to defeat Seppi in the semifinal.
Match vs. Andreas was full of breaks (6 for Kukushkin and 5 for Seppi) with Mikhail finally scoring 74 points vs. Seppi’s 72. Match Stats.
