Richard Gasquet: “This tournament means a lot to me. I made my debut 21 years ago. It’s so far. I was 16, I’m 37 now. It is one of the tournaments where I achieved my best performances. I beat Federer here in 2005. He was world number one. I have many beautiful memories on this court. My first victory on the tour was in Monte-Carlo, when I was 16 years old. Then there was this match against Roger. So yes, it’s my favorite tournament. »
