Richard Gasquet has been a regular presence throughout the last two decades in the main draws of the ATP circuit. However, perhaps most spectacular is what he is doing now: he is capable of venturing into the rough terrain of the Challenger circuit at 38 years old, maintaining the enthusiasm for playing this sport and, not only that, defeating opponents of high caliber. After being crowned yesterday at the Cassis tournament, the Frenchman leaves a sensational statistic that attests to his longevity: he is the second youngest player to win a Challenger in history and, at the same time, the third oldest to achieve it. He was crowned in Montauban  at the age of 16 and now has triumphed in Cassis at 38 years and 2 months, a difference of 22 years between titles. He certainly deserves all the recognition in the world.

Good point from Erik, that's pretty insane:
