Richard lost his semifinal against David Ferrer 2-6 2-6.
The first set was cruel. Richard did not find his serve and Ferrer dominated heavily. In the second set, however, Richard had breakpoints in three of Ferrer's service games, 6 in total, but could not convert a single one. It just seemed that everything went wrong and against him.
Richard has been called for the French Davis Cup team, playing the Czech Republic next week in Ostrava, but it is not yet decided if and which matches he will play.
