It doesn't have to be just one word. It could be a phrase. Anyone knows any puns the media has made of Richard's name? We could make use of these. That's where "#_ on the Federer Express" originated, I think (i.e. from the media).
Um, the only slogan I could think of plays off his last name, and it's rather rude, but so so obvious :angel:
Using the phrase "blow a gasket"... well, you do the changeup (gasket blower) and then assign yourself a number. I'm not going ot spell out ALL of my dirty jokes.

There is an english phrase that goes "blow a gasket", which is the equvilant of saying "get really pissed off" or "get really angry and explode", etc. Now, from this you can create "blowing a gasket", which is basically the same thing. This is an awful pun that American commentators have been playing with since Gasquet came on the circuit. However, they, unlike me, have avoided taking that extra step and making it much worse than it ought to be.
So my suggestion was to turn the phrase around, and call yourself Gasket Blowers - or Gasquet Blowers. And you can all have numbers, just like the Fed people.
To a native english speaker, gasket and Gasquet sound similar enough that it makes for a bad pun to interchange them as such... especially since a lot of native english speakers will be prone to prononouce the "t" in Gasquet anyways.

Your english is dandy, though I didn't think it was your first language. I just assumed it wasn't based on where you said you lived, though I realize that was a bad assumption to make. Regardless, there are regional differences, so it was worth pointing that stuff out. Maybe people where you live aren't stupid enough to call him Gas-kett
I assumed you were male, but I don't know why you were assigned that particular gender. You just were.
Last time I told somebody that I thought they were a guy they were like "EVERYBODY SAYS THAT ALKJASLKDS" and I was like "whoa.... won't be answering THAT question again"

Most people over here think I'm female just because I'm a Richard fan. I mean, I am a huge Williams fan too, so does that make me a hermaphrodite? :ras:
Thanking God everyday for he choose tennis over rugby...

We could make a joke because he'll always saying "fabulous", "voilà" and "tout ça" when he speaks
We could make a joke about all his numerous "tics"/"twitches" or mannerism, unconscious habits...(putting his foot on the line before returning, wiping up his racket grip, his constipated faces, his "minauderies", speaking to his coach during matches as if he could not be heard when the cameras and their close-ups show everything...)
The fact that he's always sweating like crazy ("bubles coming out his shoes" lol) ands always say he'll have to play the "perfect match" next round no matter the opponent...
These are not true suggestions but some things that could inspire those who have better knoledge of English and above all more talent and imagination...

Richard fans are supposed to be teenaged girls. And me. Apparently you didn't get that email forward. For that matter, neither did Swiss Mister.
Not a hermaphrodite, a bisexual - since sexuality is what people are basing the gender assumtions on in the first place. Me, I've learned that such assumptions are of no use here in the world of internet tennis chat, where question for the day on wtaworld becomes "So who here is actually straight?"

Yeah, as if one couldn't like a player male or female because of his game style and personality...
But we should speak more about tennis in this Richard's forum, that's true...

Well, like you said, people tend to think that Richard fans are all teenaged girls, rather than teenaged girls and homosexuals like Fonsie, so IMO, it's gender-based because everyone assumes that everyone else is straight.
