rafasgirl - I do not care about your name - you are a Richard fan and that is all that matters here - I am a Gasquet fan but I greatly admire Rafa's fighting spirit on the court.

I want Richard back on court. RG and Wibmy will not be the same for us all if he is not there.

We can only hope now.... we know our Rich isn't stupid to take drugs intentionally! I just hope they believe him at the hearing.. people who do not know him started calling him drug addict or something lame like that Evil or Very Mad

i hope everything works out...

ReesharGFAN - welcome aboard - great to see more people supporting Richard during this difficult time. Tennis will not be the same for me without Richard during these coming weeks - hopefully it will remain weeks and not years. I will not stand for it if he is banned for any length of time.

ReesharGfan - welcome here! Really so nice of you to join this forum during these testing times. Some fans are “fair-weather fans” and I’m so glad we are not this type. Very Happy

Hi everyone!...this is my first message,not because i don't care but because i like to analyse things before i say something. I really hope Richard didn't take the drug or if he did that he has a good explanation...but people put to much pressure on him...It's like media is trying to destroy him.After this cocaine episode most people don't even remember that he is a really talented player and he also works very hard to stay on top...many speaking about him as a past star....this is sad...he is only at the beginning of his career and and all these "bad" articles are not constructive.Even if they aren't fans (which is totally normal) at least they should have some respect ...

As for the tournaments ... i feel like they are "empty"... I hope Richard comes back after all this, whatever "this"is, stronger, healthier and more prepared mentally to face these challenges!

P.S. I'm sorry for my spelling but i'm very tired...

Hi Mihaela, welcome to this forum (and all other new fans/posters too). Very Happy

great to have you here. keep the comments coming.

I wish Richard comes to this website (similar to what Roger does to his own)...he should know by now that his fans will not abandon him in this difficult time.

Thank you for your welcome Smile

I wish that too and maybe he has already visited this site...only as a guest...

Anyway, it's great to be part of this forum (although I realize now this is more than a forum) and hopefully we can do something for Richard, at lest cheer him up.

Kohu - the address for the international tennis forum - is www.itftennis.com
and click on Mens Circuit on the right and then under circuit info click on contact us. I am not sure if they threw my e-mail in the garbage but thought if they got enough they might pay attention to what the fans has to say about this ban on Richard.

Yes, it would be nice if Richard visited the site now and again and gave us a few words. How nice would that be. I suppose he must be in quite a state right now, and probably does not ever want to to hold a tennis racquet again. I hope not!

Yes, welcome aboard Mihaela, great to see more fans sign up and support Richard during these trying times.

It is extremely hard waiting for the hearing for more news, when I am sure they is a lot going on behind the scenes that we are not informed of/

Would be nice if Richard came on to talk with us. Ok, got to go.

Hi all,

News of RIchie has died down and while that is a good thing, I would love to know how/what he is doing. I hope he is hiding out somewhere working his ass off so the minute he comes back he tears up the tour. But sadly I expect he is pretty bumbed and not motivated to work until he knows how long his suspension will be. I imagine the length of the suspension will make a big different in what he decides to do.

I'm watching the French Open but just can't seem to get into it like I usually do. I keep thinking about what Richie is doing, how difficult this must be for him and how unfair. Sad

Wonder why this hearing has to take so long? I can't imagine that it would take so long to prepare for.

GUess we just have to wait. Crying or Very sad

You're right Kohu, French Open is not the same without Richard...It's weird not seeing him play for such a long time..I really miss him Crying or Very sad

I hope he's ok

also watching the French Open...but like all of you, just seem"empty" for me without Richard. but still happy that some of my other faves are still in the tournament, especially Federer escaping a scare earlier from Acasuso. I so want him to win his first RG trophy....

I cannot imagine Wimby without Richard though. It will be really sad Crying or Very sad
