“It is another player from the generation of Rafa who will bow out. It will be moving for Richard. I am sure he will continue to play tennis, with France and young people. He has a passion for this sport which is incredible. Its longevity in tennis is extraordinary. He was for more than 20 years for French tennis, a great character and a face of French tennis and we also want to have a beautiful ceremony for him ”estimates the former world number 1, in the podcast of the Internationals of France.
