In an all-French round 1 battle at the 2025 French Open, 23-year veteran Richard Gasquet goes up against 23-year-old Terence Atmane. This will be a match played between the two ends of the spectrum, with Gasquet, a long-time local favorite with plenty of experience at this level, taking on a younger and upcoming player looking to make his mark at the highest level of the sport.

Richard Gasquet vs Terence Atmane Preview

Gasquet, who was once a force on the men’s tour, having gone toe-to-toe with some of the legends of the game, has fallen off for quite some time now.

A consistent player with the ability to surprise even the best players on tour till 2018 has been struggling to win titles, with his last tour title coming in January 2023. With just 7 matches this year, Gasquet has a losing 3-4 record and will now walk away from tennis after this year’s Roland Garros, having already announced his decision to retire.

Atmane, on the other hand, has played mostly in challenger tournaments with no matches thus far at this level in 2025. Overall, he holds just a 4-10 record on tour, making this first round matchup against Gasquet quite a difficult proposition. He does, however, have a couple of titles in 2025 coming from the Challenger events in Busan and Guangzhou.

While Gasquet is ranked 166 in the world currently, he made it as high as number 7 in the world, even when playing in an era of greats such as the big 4 and many more. He has 16 titles to his name and has given many top players a run for their money.

Richard Gasquet vs Terence Atmane French Open 2025 Prediction

Gasquet has reached the end of his glorious career spanning over 23 years. With injuries and age catching up with him, the Frenchman is ready to bid adieu to the sport and probably does not have much left in the tank for his last hurrah. Nevertheless, the emotions of his final Roland Garros could propel him towards an inspired performance.

Atmane, the much younger and fresher of the two players, hasn’t shown much at the topmost level of the game, but if he can find a way to tire out his opponent, it will be easier to come through with a win.

Prediction: Atmane in four sets
