Richard Gasquet’s long career is set to end next year after the French Open. He explained this in the French newspaper “L’Equipe”.
The Frenchman with his unique technique may have left his mark on Swiss tennis fans. In 2006 he won the ATP tournament in Gstaad. He was also with Roger Federer a total of 21 times. However, Gasquet was only able to win two of those matches. Things are looking better for the Frenchman against the second special player from Switzerland in recent years, Stan Wawrinka. In 6 meetings he was able to achieve 3 wins.
The 38-year-old Gasquet has been fighting for a place in the top 100 of the world rankings for months. The former world number seven, now ranked 133rd, reached the semi-finals of a Grand Slam tournament three times – at Wimbledon in 2007 and 2015 and at the US Open in in 2013. He won 16 titles, the first in 2005 in Nottingham. and the last in 2023 in Auckland. In addition, he remains the youngest player to win a match on the tour when he defeated Argentina’s Franco Squillari in Monte Carlo in 2002 at the age of 15.
