"I hope to play again next year," said the now 36-year-old. Richard Gasquet lost 6-4, 2-6, 6-2, 7-6 (7/4) to Arthur Rinderknech on Tuesday.

Gasquet played in 2023 his twentieth Roland-Garros. At best, he reached the quarterfinals in 2016. "If I go down (in the ATP rankings), for sure it will be the time to stop and finish," he repeats.
