Richard Gasquet managed a perfect fortnight … until the end of the first set of his semi-final against Novak Djokovic. Voluntary and applied, the French let go at the worst moments: when it came to realize his good intentions in giving the blow of accelerator required for orders of the match. This is the implacable conclusion that emerges after his loss to Novak Djokovic. Until the tiebreaker, the French was it being overplaying? According to him, the truth is not so far away. “I was always taken by the throat. I make unbelievable shots to keep me around 5, a reverse packet. It is very hard to maintain this level against him which is stable and which returns everything.”
As to Federer in London in 2007 or Nadal in New York in 2013, the French once again found to be the difference between a brilliant player and a champion. “It does not give any free points. It serves very well, made very few mistakes, it makes things difficult, found” Richie. “ I feel overspeed. But I have no regrets. I made the game I had to do, I managed to drop shots. I played much better at Roland Garros. I would have liked to win the first set. This is not everything, but it would have made different game. ” A 4-4 particular, there has been missed this smash while leading 0/15 on the Serb service. And above all, this match where he committed four fouls, when he was given only one point in the first twelve games.
“Lower the direct / faults winning shots ratio is what to do throughout the year to get more used to this kind matches “
“He loses against a ‘Djoko slightly higher , was packed Arnaud di Pasquale, national technical director. This should make him aware of what he must do to beat’ Djoko ‘(Andy) Murray, (Roger) Federer tomorrow. “” I found Djokovic very strong, I did not find bothered by anything physically , has temperate Arnaud Clement, Davis Cup captain. He took advantage of every time some small mistakes Richard early in order to set right away and put him breaker lot of pressure. “

“Lowering the ratio unforced errors / winning shots, it’s what to do throughout the year to get more used to this kind of matches “, rightly pointed Lionel Roux, coach of the France team in Davis Cup. “He missed a large serving , also considered Gasquet who served 51% of first serves against 76% for his opponent. This is the key against players like him. It should serve incredibly well. Hitting with 5 or 6 km / h more, it does not hurt me. ” “When he had break points to defend, he slammed the first good (balls) at the right time,” still rebounded Lionel Roux.
“The most important thing for him now is to continue working in this spirit.”
Friday is undoubtedly experience the world number one and its know-how to kill the game that made the difference. Arguments that the French can not have Satchel, who stumbled 16 times out of 19 in the fourth round of major tournaments. “This is my third semi-final in a Grand Slam. I’m close but not loan together , pleads Gasquet. You’ve got some matches, but each time the best are there. Now you have to be able to beat these guys . If I want to return to the world’s top ten and win against players like that, it is tennis that I must do: move forward, hit the ball and avoid excessive control with lift “.
Richard Gasquet will leave London with at least the satisfaction of having a very good Wimbledon. Physically and mentally, the French has improved, which allowed him to sign victories over Grigor Dimitrov nick kyrgios and Stan Wawrinka, three customers in matches best of five sets. But to give a memorable note to his career, it would have taken a victory that is beyond comprehension. But Novak Djokovic did not hear it that way. And Eric Winogradsky, assistant DTN. “Today, he just lost against someone stronger than him over time is most important for him now is to continue working in this state spirit. “
