Richard Gasquet biography
 
Richard Gasquet is a French professional tennis player. He won the mixed doubles Grand Slam title at the 2004 French Open, partnering Tatiana Golovin. His highest ranking in singles is #7. His best achievements in tennis are reaching the semi-finals of Wimbledon in 2007 and later that year qualifying for the Tennis Masters Cup. Gasquet is best known for his long winding groundstrokes.

Nicknamed “Baby Federer,” Richard Gasquet was the most talked about junior in the history of France (he appeared on the cover of a French tennis magazine at age 9).

CAREER:

So far, he has not fulfilled his promise as a pro, despite flashes of brilliance. As of the end of 2009, he had passed the fourth round at a major tournament just once. He was suspended in 2009 after a positive test for cocaine, but the suspension was overturned after Gasquet argued that he tested positive for the drug because he had kissed a woman who had used the drug.

Singles Titles:
2010: Nice
2007: Mumbai
2006: Lyon, Gstaad, Nottingham
2005: Nottingham

Doubles Titles:

2006: Metz
