Richard Gasquet Biography (Tennis Player) — Infoplease.com (237 words)
Gasquet became a certified tennis prodigy at age 12, when he won Les Petit As -- "the unofficial world junior title," as the BBC called it.
Both his father and mother were tennis teachers, giving young Gasquet a leg up in both genes and training; his father continues to serve as his coach.
In 2002 Gasquet won a match in the men's event at Monte Carlo at age 15, won the junior tournament titles at both the French Open and the U.S. Open, was named the World Junior Champion, and at age 16 became the youngest player ever to crack the top 200 in the men's year-end rankings.
