Gasquet set for Queen's Club
France's teenage tennis sensation Richard Gasquet
Much is expected of Gasquet in the future
French tennis sensation Richard Gasquet will next month become the youngest ever player to appear in the main draw of the Stella Artois Championships.

Gasquet has been awarded a wild card by organisers for the Queen's Club event.

The 15-year-old, who beat three top 100-ranked players at Monte Carlo last month, has been tipped for the top by Boris Becker's former coach Gunther Bosch.

"He has such great timing and feel for the ball. He can have a good all-round game and one which should be great on grass," he said.

Tournament director Ian Wight added: "With a testimony like that we think Richard deserves his chance to follow in the footsteps of the likes of John McEnroe and Boris Becker."

Gasquet has also been given a wild card for the French Open which starts later this month.
