I'm sorry to hear this, because despite his annoying tennis-implosion ways, I like Richard and would love for him to succeed. I agree with Jen that he may be suffering an identity crisis and burnout. He can be so exciting to watch -- I hope he gets through this and decides to rededicate himself to tennis! Hi freakyfrites!

Thanks for your IW observations. He does seem friendly enough with the other Frenchies around the courts, but maybe it doesn't translate to their personal lives? Jen - here's hoping this scare show Richard how lucky he is to be playing tennis. It's like he's still playing with that 9 year-old's pressure. Hi Mudnessa! Thanks for your IW observations.

Oh Richie :(

When I go to Indian Wells he is at the same hotel that I stay in and he is rarely, if ever, hanging out with the other Frenchies. The French coaches are always strolling the bars for women and the players and friends hang out in the lounge area and all seem to be having good fun, but I can not recall a time I saw Gasquet with them. I see him walking though the hotel or at eating with his coach or just another person or two, I assumed he was super low key and what not but perhaps he goes and does his own partying, that is of course if his tests are positive. Bottom line from what little I have observed of a player I only really know in name this is quite shocking to me. I am not a fan of Gasquets in any way so I don’t follow much of anything about him.
