thread_title: French Open category?

message: "Gasquet's one-handed backhand features a high take back, utilising gravity, coils up (very low to the ground), and slowly unwinds, and unleashes one of the most beautiful and lethal shots seen these days in tennis."
I am not familiar enough with his style to do so myself, but should this require some revision? It sounds over romanticized and a little colloquial.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.209.255.193 (talk) 23:20, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Gasquet's single-handed backhand is generally considered to be a textbook example of a beautiful backhand in the pro tennis world, so the quotation above is not so outlandish.  "Graceful" and "beautiful" are frequently used to describe his backhand.  He is often used as an instructional example for tennis learners -- example from Tennis magazine tennis instruction.  Another example from a website devoted to learning the one-handed backhand .  Perhaps less effusive language would help this passage -- something like "Gasquet's one-handed backhand is considered by many of his peers to be one of the best backhands on the pro tour.  His backhand technique features a high take-back and powerful loop, which dramatically increases his ability to impart topspin and velocity onto the ball."

replies: text: The pronunciation of Richard Gasquet's name as shown was incorrect.  The name is French and should not be Anglicized. His family name should be pronounced gas-KAY according to the ATP web site. Unsure of the French pronunciation of Richard.SystemicAnomaly (talk) 19:42, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I wrote the pronunciation in IPA since English sounds are very misleading. For example, AY is a diphtong in English ([eɪ̯]) but ET in the end of Gasquet is only one sound ([ɛ]). Oyp (talk) 14:32, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

text: Richard is pronounced "Ree-shar", in French. You can trust me: I am French. "Gas-kay" is fine.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.92.88.94 (talk) 09:13, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Playing Style 

message: Just picking one section here, I see the following issues with neutrality, and even some original research:
*Fresh off of his huge win
*having just demolished
*possibly due to being overawed at playing one of his childhood heroes.
Perhaps it's worth someone familiar with the subject going over the whole article and removing this clear breaches of NPOV/OR.  The Rambling Man (talk) 15:18, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

message: I've added referenced information to make a personal life section for this article to make it more interesting, but as you can see I've not been able to create the section correctly. I've tried to read help sections on wikipedia  to work out how to do it but is too complicated for me. Could someone do me a favour and create the new personal life section correctly, providing of course your happy with the information contained in it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Buffalo mozzarella (talk • contribs) 20:23, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
