Gasquet: “I saw myself losing”
Richard Gasquet, after his victory Monday in Metz against Thiago Monteiro: “He’s a player who plays better on clay so I knew I had my chances. I started badly but managed to fight and the end of the match was very difficult. I saw myself losing this match. It’s nice to be able to win a match on the circuit, it’s been a while since that happened to me, and to experience some emotions with this saved match point. Because this year, it wasn’t crazy.
I have won more than 600 matches in my career but in 2024 I have won four, it is very, very few. Pfff… it’s weak (he smiles). The end of the film is never easy, otherwise you don’t stop. So it’s nice to be able to win this match, even if it remains difficult, 7-6 in the third, the end was physically tough. » L. A.
