Richard Gasquet is ready to embrace his final French Open – 20 years after first appearing at his home Grand Slam.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m feeling, of course, it\u2019s my last tournament, so it\u2019s a bit particular, a bit emotional,\u201d Gasquet reflected.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I try my best of course when I\u2019m going on the court to try to win, so we will see what will happen. I just know I try my best to win the match and we will see what will happen. The match is always different. It\u2019s the end, maybe the last match of your career. Hard to say. It\u2019s special, but I\u2019m happy to do this, I\u2019m happy to play here one last time. I\u2019m practically 39 years old.<\/p>\n
\u201cI never thought I was going to be playing such a long time. So I\u2019m lucky enough to be able to do it here one last time. I know what that represents, to play in a tournament like this. So I\u2019m going to try to enjoy it from beginning to end and give my all. It\u2019s sport. You never know what\u2019s going to happen. I don\u2019t know if I\u2019m calm, but in any case, I want it, and I\u2019m going to enjoy it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Richard Gasquet is ready to embrace his final French Open – 20 years after first appearing at his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":128088,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[1070,5066,56524,4295,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-128087","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-emma-raducanu","9":"tag-french-open","10":"tag-geneva-open-final","11":"tag-novak-djokovic","12":"tag-sports","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114563033837591395","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128087","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=128087"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128087\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/128088"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=128087"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=128087"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=128087"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
