Aaah i miss the old Gatien. Many ppl dont know it but he was actuly just ONE match from to win a grandslam of tt. He won the world championship in 93, world cup at 94 and was in final against Waldner in the olympic 92. His prime was rather short but he is truly one of the great European players. Waldner was often a nemesis for Gatien when he went long in tournaments so if it havent been for Waldner then Gatien maybe would have been the greatest...

He stopped because in 2000-2002, he was injured many times. At the end, he could not play his best game. However, in 2005 he was able to defeat Maze at ECL. His game is based on speed. During his formation, he works to play the fastest possible. He didn't want to use a real pivot position because he didn't want to open the forehand side to the opponent. So when he pivot, he just move a little his feets but he "twisted" his back.

Jean-Philippe got on of the best forehand I've ever seen !! But, as already said, he has two majors problems : - Waldner. It's hard to ba the best when you live at the same time than the most talented player in the world (at all time) - a poor backhand His footwork is really impressive too and he is able to rotate the top of his body like no one, to take the ball with his forehand. I'm really impatient to see a new generation of french like him and the other "Mousquetaire" (Chila, Legoût, ...)
