Richard Gasquet, who is already in the quarter-finals of Roland Garros 2016, in an interview, spoke about the future permanent absence of Federer and Nadal from the “Grand Slam”, which he imagines as a difficult situation.
The French tennis player, speaking to “L΄ Equipe”, said that when the time comes for the two “legends” of the sport to retire, he will “pain”, thus showing how much he respects and appreciates the “work” that the two have left in the sport.
We remind you that this year’s Roland Garros is only the second Grand Slam after 12 years (after Wimbledon in 2013), where Rafa – Roger do not play in the third round of the tournament.
Gasquet went on to talk about Nadal’s injury, saying: “I’ve had less injuries than him, but I’ve won a lot less games. When you win nine Roland Garros and ten tournaments in Barcelona, it seems incredible to suffer such an injury after so many years. Rafa is undoubtedly one of the greatest players in the sport.”
Leaving Nadal, Gasquet changed the subject and talked about the incident between Stan Wawrinka and Nick Kyrgios at the Rogers Cup in Toronto in 2015.
We remind you that the Greek-Australian also “involved” Kokkinakis, saying various things to “Stan”, however Gasquet did not criticize Kyrgios, but commented… “Fortunately, there are no microphones everywhere in the stadiums, otherwise most of us would have been expelled”.
Gasquet is in the Roland Garros quarterfinals for the first time in his career and today he will face Andy Murray for a place in the “4” best of the event.
