Inside the Court: A Chat with Adrian Mannarino and Richard Gasquet
Richard Gasquet: Hey Adrian! Just finished watching your match, well played out there! Those drop shots were really on point today.
Adrian Mannarino: Thanks, Richard! Been working on those drops for a while. You know how tricky it can be to make them look effortless.
Richard Gasquet: Oh, absolutely. I remember when I was starting out, I would practice drop shots until my wrist felt like it was about to fall off. Are you trying anything new in training these days?
Adrian Mannarino: Actually, yes. I’m focusing more on my serve these days. I feel like it’s always been a bit of a weak spot for me, so I’m trying a few new techniques. What about you?
Richard Gasquet: Same here. You can never stop evolving in this sport. Speaking of evolving, did you catch the latest game of the French national football team?
Adrian Mannarino: Oh, come on, you know I never miss a game! Those guys were on fire. Really inspiring to see such high-level performance. Imagine if tennis matches had the same kind of crowd energy we see in football stadiums!
Richard Gasquet: Ha! That would be something. The closest we get is probably the Davis Cup. It’s always a different vibe when you’re playing for your country, don’t you think?
Adrian Mannarino: Totally! The pressure, the pride—it’s all amped up. Speaking of national pride, did you hear about the new French cuisine spot that just opened up in town?
Richard Gasquet: Yes, I’ve been meaning to check that out. Maybe after our next match, we can go there together. Celebrate with some good food and even better wine?
Adrian Mannarino: I’m in! But don’t forget, you’re buying if I win.
Richard Gasquet: Deal! Though, knowing your current form, I better start saving up!
Adrian Mannarino: Haha, always a pleasure chatting with you, Richard. Let’s make sure to keep pushing each other on and off the court!
Richard Gasquet: Absolutely, Adrian. Here’s to more matches, more victories, and, of course, more good times.
