Gasquet in semifinal in Beijing
Tennis is one of my favorite sports. There are a lot of great players to talk about but I want to focus on a French player, Richard Gasquet, whose evolution is remarkable. He won yesterday in Beijing against David Ferrer. On this photo we can see his outburst of joy. He must be tremendously proud of his achievement, even if Ferrer hadn’t the same level as in Roland-Garros when he played the final. Now Gasquet has a technical ease, he became more serious, has changed his state of mind and he needed it or else he wouldn’t have reached this level. Indeed, in 2009, he tested positive to cocaine and was suspended twelve months. He was considered as a child prodigy of french tennis but he took a very long time to manage to enter the top ten. Thanks to his efforts, he beats Ferrer twice (the first time in the US Open) and today he is number ten at ATP race. The semifinal is today, against Djokovic, it will be hard but he has a chance. We know that he will do his best !
