Video: Gasquet Declares "I'm The Worst"


Richard Gasquet's upset of Stan Wawrinka in the Wimbledon quarterfinals hasn't gone to his head.

More: Gasquet Fights Off Wawrinka to Reach Final Four

You may have heard players declare "I'm the best" in triumph, but Gasquet takes a more measured approach to his place in the pecking order.

The 21st-seeded Frenchman shows a self-deprecating sense of humor as he sum up his status as "the worst" of the Wimbledon final four that features reigning Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic and former title holders Roger Federer and Andy Murray.

See the 2:20 mark in the above video for Gasquet's assessment of the semifinalists.

"Of course, I'm proud because there are big players in semis. I'm the worst when you see Federer, Djokovic and Murray and me," Gasquet says. "There is something, I want to enjoy it."

If the gifted Gasquet sounds overly pessimistic, consider his semifinal opponent Djokovic has won 12 of their 13 meetings, including a 6-1, 6-2, 6-3 thrashing at Roland Garros last month.
