Mauresmo discusses Gasquet's retirement at Roland-Garros: "We want to have a beautiful ceremony for him"
In three weeks, Roland-Garros will begin with an event that has been planned for several months: Richard Gasquet's retirement after a 23-year career on the professional circuit.
In the French Open podcast, tournament director Amélie Mauresmo spoke about this moment, which will undoubtedly be filled with emotion:
"He’s another player from Nadal’s generation who will bow out. It will be emotional for Richard. I’m sure he’ll continue to play tennis, whether with France or with the younger generation. He has a passion for this sport that is truly incredible.
His longevity in tennis is extraordinary. He has been a presence in French tennis for over twenty years. He’s a major figure and one of the faces of the sport in France. We want to have a beautiful ceremony for him."
