"The charismatic Frenchman has all the tools needed to win big: an imposing serve, a huge forehand, more solid backhand and opportunism at net. His mental and emotional makeup is also suited to the task - he loves the big occasion and draws inspiration from the crowd. But during the early stages of his career, his body has continually broken down. The latest problem is a knee injury which has kept him off the courts since Miami. The short-term outlook is good: he expects to avoid surgery and says he can't wait for the French Open." (http://www.tennis.com/)
Pioline:"He loves the big courts, and he loves to play under pressure. It's a big quality in his game because his mental side is very strong. He's able to play very good tennis in big moments and big matches."
Here is a video of his match vs Gasquet
