Jannik Sinner: Richard Gasquet happy and aware.

Richard Gasquet’s statements ahead of the challenge with Jannik Sinner

With only a few days to go before the challenge against Jannik Sinner valid for the second round of Roland Garros, Frenchman Richard Gasquet, although aware of the unfavorable odds, tried to identify the positives of the match that awaits him against the world number two.

"It's obvious that if Sinner plays his best tennis è by far the favorite. We have already played twice, they were two very good matches. I remember the three sets on the grass in Halle and then in Indian Wells. He è was always stronger than me, although I think I played well. I will try to take full advantage of the opportunity to face such a strong tennis player on the Philippe Chatrier court" began the French tennis player as quoted in "OA Sport".

"I have worked a lot on physical condition this season, I have played about 30 matches since the beginning of the year, surely è this has allowed me to have better results than in previous years. I feel more comfortable on the court, I look lighter than I did at the end of 2023. I have played several tough matches on clay and winning them helps both physically and mentally. It was good to play and to be able to be competitive for almost four hours in the match with Coric" added the 37-year-old transalpine.

Jannik Sinner and Richard Gasquet will take the court for the second round of Roland Garros on Wednesday, May 29.
