He'll be missed. Been a fan of his since Wimby '08.
An entertaining, creative player who has carried himself with class throughout.
And my GOAT OHB.

Yes but it was irrelevant.

??? It's the exact same topic. If that one isn't relevant then neither is this one. The dude retired today.

Guy peaked in 2002 when he reached No. 1 in the world and won two Slam titles - it was in the Boys category as a junior. Not enough firepower on the FH/serve in the men’s category to be truly elite.

Probably 2015 Wimbledon QF. That was a beautiful match that had it all.
One of the earliest matches I've seen him play was 2007 Estoril final where he lost to Djokovic. Djoko barely edged the first set, then proceeded to apparently tank the second set 0-6, and easily won the decider.

This is possibly the highest Gasquet moment, beating Roddick from 2 sets and a break down in their 2007 Wimbledon quarter final:

And then the opposite, Gasquet losing against Murray from 2 sets and a break up in their 2008 Wimbledon fourth round match:

So many amazing memories - some good, many bad. One of my absolute favourites of the past 20 years, who may not have come close to living up to the hype, but was so much fun to watch anyway.
The Roland Garros match with Stan in 2013 is one of the best tennis matches I have ever seen. For the art of it as much as anything else. Until the 2018 Wimbledon semi (the second one...) it was my match of the decade.

Fabrice Santoro retired at the 2009 Paris Masters. But then he played one more match, at the 2010 Australian Open, to get the record of playing in majors in 4 different decades (1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s).

Magical stuff. This and the Djokovic/Baghdatis match going on at the same time was a ridiculous tennis high.This is possibly the highest Gasquet moment, beating Roddick from 2 sets and a break down in their 2007 Wimbledon quarter final:

No, Gasquet. I'm very sure that I heard he would retire after RG during at least one of the last 2 editions as well, if not both. And then shortly after he was back as if nothing happened.

Gasquet announced his current retirement in October 2024.

I would just keep using my protective ranking until it runs out so I can collect as much money as possible without doing anything. I wouldn't even show up to the practice courts. I'd just eat the free food and hit on chicks.

At least let his body go cold first.

Despite not having any big titles, the guy was well known in tennis, and at some point there even were high expectations of him.

Fully got into tennis in mid 2007 when i was 21 and was fullllllly invested by 2008 so seeing Monfils, Gasquet, Wawrinka, Djokovic, etc at the end of the road makes me emotional. Grew up with them and the Big 4, Del Po, Verdasco, Giles Simon, Ferrer. They’re apart of my 20’s and 30’s

I'm in my 40s and feel like Victor Meldrew already.

Late 30s here, and while watching tennis on my laptop I've got Allen Carr's Interior Design Masters on the telly in the background.

He played a good match to take down Fed at MC 2005.
