London: Richard Gasquet summed up his shock appearance in the Wimbledon semi-finals alongside Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Andy Murray by admitting: “I’m the worst”. The 29-year-old Frenchman reached his second All England Club semi-final — eight years after his first — with a 6-4, 4-6, 3-6, 6-4, 11-9 victory over fourth seed Stan Wawrinka on Wednesday. “I’m proud because there are big players in the semis.
But I’m the worst when you see Federer, Djokovic and Murray and me,” said Gasquet. “I want to enjoy it, to play a better match than I did in Paris,” said Gasquet.
“It’s important for me to think I can win this match. That’s the most important. To go on the court and think you can win, it’s something I need to do it on my mental part, to be there
to win. Novak is an incredible player to face in the semis of a Grand Slam. I want to enjoy that moment and to try to reach the final, of course. Novak is the favourite. Everybody knows that. But I want to take my chance and we will see what
will happen.”—AFP
