Richard Gasquet, soon to be 37, “hopes to play one more Roland-Garros” in 2024, he said after his defeat in the first round of the Parisian Grand Slam against another Frenchman, Arthur Rinderknech, on Tuesday.
No epic this year. As in 2020, Richard Gasquet (52nd) took the door to Roland-Garros in the first round on Tuesday, beaten by his compatriot Arthur Rinderknech (78th) in four sets (6-4, 2-6, 6-2, 7-6). But soon to be 37 years old, the man with the delicious reverse hopes to return at least one last time to Porte d’Auteuil, in 2024.
“Honestly, I haven’t thought about that too much. I hope to play one more Roland-Garros next year,” Gasquet replied to a question about his exit. “Afterwards, I will necessarily have points to defend at the start of the year, we’ll see where it takes me in the standings. If I see that I’m far, we’ll see where I stop later. But maybe the “Next year at Roland-Garros, yes, it’s a possibility. It’s not impossible,” continued the three-time Grand Slam semi-finalist.

“If I had an ending to choose from, it would be here”
“It’s sure that ending here is the most beautiful. There is no more beautiful ending. If I had an ending to choose from, it would be here. Maybe in a year, he said. he added. Finishing at Roland-Garros is beautiful all the same, it’s better than finishing elsewhere.”
“If I go down (in the ATP rankings), it will definitely be the time to stop and finish” at Roland-Garros, he repeats. Gasquet was playing his twentieth Roland-Garros in 2023. At best, he got there in the quarter-finals in 2016.
