I never called you a moron, I wouldn't do that. I just said your post and logic are stupid. Don't say I said something if I didn't.

I don't understand what you mean by that, what about Covid?

What? You misunderstood me for someone about that.

You're quoting a reply from me to someone else which is why you are not following.

And yes, you did say my post and logic were 'stupid' which is ironic given that you have so been incoherent and indeed, did not even reply to the right message.

Lol, what a arogant person you are. :-D

Gasquet is irrelevant in tennis, did he ever won a ATP 500? I know he never won Masters, I won't even Google him.

I let other people I know tell me if I am relevant or not, I don't care about your opinion on that matter. Just because someone's a mediocre sports player doesn't mean he's important. On contrary.

If Gasquet, a former top 10 player is irrelevant in tennis, then you don't even exist and by your same logic, no one should even listen to you for a second.

Of course Gasquet is many times more relevant than you could ever hope to be in the tennis world which is why there's an article and thread on this. His opinion bothers you so much that you keep trying unsuccessfully to imagine a way to say he doesn't matter which doesn't also reduce your own opinion to total irrelevance.

Explain one thing. By saying Gasquet is relevant and I am not, do you mean in tennis only or generally, in life, like I should not exist and Gasquet is a worthy human being?

What "my same logic"? It's your logic that if someone's not a pro in something he doesn't even deserve to have an opinion. Disgusting.

Gasquet is more relevant than you or anyone else on this board for a wide range of tennis related issues. You can of course have an opinion but that opinion should allow for a lot more deference to the far greater experience and expertise of a high level pro even if you don't intuitively agree at first.

Saying the opinion of any pro player is worthless, much less that of a former top 10 player like Gasquet you claim is insignificant, means your own opinion as someone not even good enough to play games at the lowest professional level, is even more insignificant by the same logic.

In reality, you and everyone else knows Gasquet's opinion is a lot more significant than yours which is why Eurosport wrote an article about it and you keep replying in a dedicated thread on his opinion.

No one will publish articles about what you happen to think about any of these players and with good reason.

Just Googled Gasquet. Guy never even won an ATP 500, just wow. Heck, he might be one of the greatest losers in tennis, Masters finals: 0/3 (sets: 1/7), vs Big 3 - 3 wins, 49 losses. Guy's a joke. :-D

He's relevant to tennis as Andrew Castle is. He's just a Federer fanboy angry at Djokovic for beating him so many times.

Just googled AO13 and didn't even come up with a person.

Googled Gasquet and saw he's a former top 10 player with 15 career titles at the ATP level and over 550 ATP wins who has beaten Djokovic and Federer.

Gasquet is infinitely more relevant to tennis than AO13 or anyone else on this board and his opinion therefore occasions articles in Eurosport and several pages of discussion here.

Sure, can't argue with that.

Still, Gasquet is irrelevant compared to hunderds of other ex or active tennis players.

And other members of this forum have right to say whatever they want, because everyone's entitled to an opinion. Doesn't mean they are right, but they can say it.

I don't play tennis, I am fan of tennis.

I bet Gasquet is good and relevant at law, isn't he?

This proves that even players are fanboys. Nothing wrong if you say Fed and Nadal are better than Djokovic but nobody can compare?

Djokovic has most masters same slams as Fed and most weeks at no1 he obviously can compare.

Djokovic's overall resume is ONE slam short, and soon to be TWO slams short :D
Its funny that you said Nadal "only has one extra slam" considering we don't even know if Djokovic will ever win another slam.... since he wasn't even good enough to take a set from Medvedev in the US Open Final.
Djokovic is as good as DONE at hardcourt slams, and he looked extremely unconvincing at Roland Garros last year down 2 sets vs. Tsitsipas..... so Wimbledon may be his only chance at a slam.
Its all about the slams, and Nadal leads the Slam Race, and leads their Slam H2H too.
Always wonder why does the ATP tour even exist, when it's all about slam. Might as well have 4 slams and nothing else. Quite an opinion you have. Also the lead is so narrow and will be non-existent after 2022 or 23. Think start adding more dimensions to your analysis just like fed fans have done.

'Nobody can compare with Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer' - Richard Gasquet on greats of tennis at French Open

Nobody can compare with Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, according to French tennis favourite Richard Gasquet, who gave his thoughts on the current crop of Next Gen stars attempting to usurp the legendary duo. Gasquet was asked about rising star Carlos Alcaraz, who he could potentially face in the third round at Roland-Garros after both won their opening matches in Paris.

French tennis star Richard Gasquet has given his thoughts on the great players in the game at the start of Roland-Garros 2022.

The 35-year-old flamboyant player began his French Open campaign with a straight-sets, 6-1 6-3 6-4, victory over Lloyd Harris of South Africa on Tuesday afternoon.
He sat down with the ATP Tour for an interview ahead of his opening match on the red dirt in Paris and was asked about the prospect of potentially facing 19-year-old rising star Carlos Alcaraz in the third round and who he takes inspiration from.

What was abundantly clear from Gasquet was that, in his opinion, "nobody can compare" with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, with the latter seeking a record-extending 14th title at Roland-Garros this fortnight.
"Of course, it’s an inspiration, but nobody can compare with Nadal, with Federer,” Gasquet told the ATP Tour, speaking about the rise of the likes of Alcaraz.
"These are the best players in the history of tennis, so it’s really tough for me to compare myself with these kinds of guys.

"Just to play my best, to have fun on the court, to feel some great things on the court — especially in big tournaments like Roland Garros, big stages.
"I’m still motivated to play… I’m still motivated to do my best to be still on top.

Hahahhahahahahahaha

Whatever helps you cope, love

Seems like your favourite achievement of "the Main Man" is beating Rafa last year at RG where he couldn't even walk after that match for a long time.

Of course you can compare as you say. It’s just that Richard is sparing Djokovic’s blushes by not doing so.

In about 10~15 years, we will have couple of more new players with near 20 slams (whose final counts will be ~25 at their retirements, I think).

This is exactly right, it's hilarious how Nadal (and Fed) fans are acting like this is some slight to Djokovic when very clearly Gasquet was saying rising stars like Alcaraz can't compare to Fed and Nadal

That's how it came across to me also. Gasquet basically just talking about the younger guys.
