ATP > Ljubicic, responsible for the high level of French Tennis: “Unlike Gilles Simon, I think that Monfils and Gasquet could have done a little more. Arthur Fils, Mpetshi Perricard and Kouamé are different, they will push 100%”

Guest of the show “Retour Gagnant” on Eurosportthe former coach of Roger Federer and current head of the high level of French Tennis, Ivan Ljubicic slipped a small tackle to the “Musketeers”.

“If we look at the previous generation, I have the feeling that Gilles Simon used his potential 100%, but Gaël (Monfils), personally, I think he could have done a little more. We all know the talent that Richard Gasquet had when he was 14−15−16 years old: he had a fantastic career, but I have the feeling that he could also do a little more. Jo Tsonga almost used 100% of his potential, but he had physical problems. Compared to this generation, abroad, we were able to think that, it's clear (…) The generation that we have with Arthur Fils, Giovanni (Mpetshi Perricard), Moise Kouamé even – which I can talk about because We exchange a lot – they are different. They will push 100%, to the maximum, and I hope that they will really arrive at a very, very high level.”
