Richard Gasquet has published the ranking of the top five one-handed backhands of all time, one of the shot that has characterized his excellent career. Gasquet, however, did not enter the first place despite many consider him the best in this particular category.
Here is the Top 5 of Gasquet’s backhands:
1) Stan Wawrinka
2) Richard Gasquet
3) Roger Federer (especially for the slice)
4) Guga Kuerten
5) Gaston Gaudio and Albert Costa Recently, during the Wimbledon tournament, Gasquet revealed a curious anecdote relating to the Big Three, the three tennis legends Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Rafa Nadal.
Here are his words: “I will never forget that moment when, after warming up in the morning, I entered the locker room and there were Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic very close to each other. I was the fourth person in that room.
Even though Djokovic was still far from the other two at the Grand Slam level, I knew immediately that he would become a sacred monster of the sport. The rest is history. ”
Mouratoglou’s words on the Big Three
The well-known coach Patrick Mouratoglou also recently made the ranking of the best showers ever.
The coach then spoke about the GOAT title race, a race that concerns the Big Three. Here are his words: “The GOAT title race is still alive and more exciting than ever. Just watching the latest Grand Slam tournaments, Djokovic won Wimbledon while Rafa Nadal won Australian Open and Roland Garros.
Roger Federer has been out for some time but he is still the tennis player who has won the most titles at Wimbledon. He now he who knows what the future holds.” Roger Federer is spending a few days of vacation in Greece with his family.
The return of the Swiss player is still a couple of months away and the King has no intention of forcing the times. Barring further unforeseen circumstances, we will see him again at the Laver Cup, which will take place at the O2 Arena in London from 23 to 25 September.
The 20-time Grand Slam champion will close his very short season at the ATP in Basel, back on the calendar after the last two editions had been canceled due to the pandemic. According to his statements, the 40-year-old Swiss should play some tournaments also in 2023.
The last two seasons have been a real ordeal for the former ATP number 1, limited by a serious right knee injury. The Maestro was overtaken by Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic in the all-time Grand Slam standings, with the Serbian also breaking the record for weeks at the top of the world rankings.
