He's pretty short for a 12 yr old in the video though.

Richard Gasquet is overrated.

Richard Gasquet is overrated.

He could probably beat u even when he was 12.

[migjam]

Very nice strokes for a 12yr old. Very smooth. Anyone know what tournament he was playing at? It seems like they had a pretty big crowd for a junior event.

[stormholloway]

I could still physically beat his ass when he was 12.

And what the hell is that music?

[andyroddick's mojo]

hah, this just shows what kind of early talent you need to show in order to just become a good pro.

[Dashbarr]

[Dashbarr]

Gasquet is by no means overrated when the terminology used is "best backhand ever". If you've not sat down to watch this guy give a backhand lesson on the court, then you've never experienced a backhand.

I agree that this is one of the smoothest 1hbh on the entire tour

[migjam]

So I hear you guys saying that you could beat Richard when he was 12? And you are basing that off of a brief video??? Riiiiiigggghhhttt.

[Trinity TC]

He looks solid. You can see that he had the basic guts to his game by the time he was 12.:cool:

[arnz]

Nice find. good to see a young man with a one handed backhand

[goober]

jesus, he's 18th.


Nothing like owning yourself :D. Gasquet was playing main draw ATP matches (and won some) at age 15.

[alan-n]

Yeah, some people here think thats his backhand with full effort... Thats him taking relaxed warm up strokes and already it is great. Looks are deceiving.
