ATP Tour: Bublik Brings Down The Curtain On Gasquet’s Marseille Career
Luca Van Assche: Alexander Bublik of Kazakhstan summoned his best abilities to end the career of crowd favourite Richard Gasquet of France in the first round of the Marseille Open here on Tuesday afternoon. Gasquet is retiring from tennis after the French Open this year. The Kazakhstani overcame the veteran French star 6-4, 6-4 at the indoor ATP 250 to register his 100th tour-level win on hard courts.
In other matches in the event, Luca Van Assche of France defeated compatriot Benjamin Bonzi 3-6, 6-3,7-6(7) in a two-hour 11-minute clash in Round of 32. Daniel Altmaier of Germany defeated Luca Nardi of France 6-2,6-2 in a match played on Court 1.
In the feature match of the day, Bublik crucially broke Gasquet’s serve in the penultimate game of each set, and on both occasions, he served out the next game to love en route to an 82-minute first-round win.
