The world number 21 said on www.atpworldtour.com: "The key of the match was to return well, and I did it. I tried to return all the time to make him play. Then I like to defend. But of course I had to do a big tie-break, and I did it. I played incredible in the tie-break and then I felt well." Gasquet on Sunday will be aiming to clinch his first title in Toronto.
