Of course, when you play against French players here, it\u2019s a little bit different, but it\u2019s the same when I play in Italy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course you have some people who are gonna shout a little bit, but it\u2019s normal. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel like it\u2019s outside of the centre court [Philippe Chatrier] or outside of Suzanne Lenglen, where it\u2019s a little bit more chaotic. I saw some matches there, and it can get very loud in a way. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut it\u2019s right that the French players have more support here, because we are in Paris. When you play against American players in the US Open, it\u2019s the same, and when you play against Australian players at the Australian Open, even there, it\u2019s normal. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI really enjoy it. The most important part is to make a good match out of it. That\u2019s why people come; to watch tennis.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Richard Gasquet is the third player to play his final match against the world number one at a major<\/p>\n<p>In his defeat to Sinner at Stade Roland Garros, Gasquet became the third player to play his final tour-level match against the ATP number one at a Grand Slam. <\/p>\n<p>He follows countrymen Nicolas Devilder and Jeremy Chardy, who retired in 2013 and 2023, respectively. <\/p>\n<p>Gasquet played over 20 years professionally, and has collected 16 titles over the course of his career. <\/p>\n<p>He reached a career high of world number seven, which he attained in July 2007, the same year he made it to his first of three Grand Slam semi-finals at Wimbledon. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jannik Sinner continued his pursuit of a fourth major title at the French Open with a comfortable second-round&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":142617,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4105],"tags":[5066,4718,79,1068,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-142616","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-french-open","9":"tag-jannik-sinner","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-tennis","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114593680995836287","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142616","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=142616"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142616\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/142617"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=142616"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=142616"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=142616"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
