\n\tRichard Gasquet admits he\u2019s searching for ways to lift a sagging 19th ATP ranking as the Frenchman prepares to play for his country starting with the opening-day tie on Saturday at the Hopman Cup mixed teams event.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n\t\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tGasquet, a one-time prodigy who has been tipped for greatness in France for a decade, is still trying to fulfil the hopes of his teenaged years. He once stood seventh in the world.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tThe 25-year-old is starting his 2012 season with a fresh approach as he plays Perth for the first time, with Marion Bartoli as his partner. France open round-robin play on New Year\u2019s Eve against China, which boasts French Open champion Li Na and untested Wu Dix, ranked 42nd.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\t“I\u2019ve never played here (Perth), it\u2019s good to practise, it\u2019s good to prepare and to get ready for Melbourne,” Gasquet told local media on Tuesday after a hit-up with Australian Matthew Eden. “I played a lot in Brisbane (the ATP event the same week), I wanted to change it a bit.”<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tGasquet and Wu have never played, while Li and number nine Bartoli are 1-1, with the Chinese winning their last meeting in Dubai in 2010.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tGasquet stands more than 400 spots higher than Wu and should be counted on taking a point for France.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tThe eight-nation competition includes singles and a mixed doubles rubber.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tGasquet said his goal is to return to a place in the tennis elite, “I\u2019m trying to break into the top 10, I did it some years ago and I\u2019m not far.”<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
