Richard Gasquet isn’t anywhere close to the other three players
Richard Gasquet isn’t anywhere close to the other three players that have reached the Wimbledon semi finals this year along with him and he shows no reluctance in admitting it, but, he believes he can create an upset in the Round of 4 and reach the title round at All England Club.
Novak Djokovic is going to be Gasquet’s opponent in the first semi final and given the Serb’s form in the Slams this season, it’s needless to say that it should be a walk in the park for him.
But, Gasquet is not horrified by who his opponent is.
Ahead of the game, the Frenchman was quoted as saying, “Everybody is backing Novak and that’s obvious, but, as far as I am concerned, I will have to tell myself that I am good enough to beat him. If I don’t think like that, there is no point for me to step on the court.”
When asked how it feels to be in the Wimbledon semis along with some of the greats of the game, Gasquet said, “It’s a proud feeling to be honest. All three of them are far better than me and I have nothing to lose. I will enjoy myself and will try as hard as I can.” Read more »
