Richard Gasquet has once again come out and publicly denied the fact that he is not homosexual
Richard Gasquet has once again come out and publicly denied the fact that he is not homosexual.
Some time back, there had been rumours of Gasquet being homosexual.
He was snapped in an intimate position with one of his trainers and that had led to people making perceptions about him.
The Frenchman had denied these things at that time as well and again, last week, when he was asked the same question, he irritatingly emphasised the fact that he was totally normal gender-wise and is far away from homosexuality.
Speaking in that interview, Gasquet said, “Homosexuality is not something that I’m associated with. A lot of things have been rumoured and I don’t pay too much attention to it.”
Gasquet had been identified as a great talent as a young player along with Rafael Nadal and it was being said that these two guys would go on to dominate the World tennis for a long time.
While, Nadal has indeed been able to do that, Gasquet does not quite have the same sort of glory filled career so far.
When asked what the reason could be, the 28-year old said, “Well, Rafa is a different sort of player. I think physique wise, he is slightly better than me. He has put a lot of work in the gym which I haven’t quite done. I don’t believe that much in gym work. I have always looked to get better at the tactical aspects of my game.”
“You see somebody like Roger Federer, how good he is in terms of tactics. Also, the confidence that he has and the way he expresses himself on the court, it’s amazing. You have to have those qualities in you to get yourself recognized as one of the best.”
