Tsitsipas crashes against Gasquet on his debut on grass

Date:

the greek Stefanos Tsitsipasworld number 5 and first tournament favorite of Stuttgarthis start to the grass season began with a defeat to the French Richard Gasquet (55th), which reached the quarterfinals.

The Greek, the fifth player in the world and looking for his first win in 2023 after the finals he lost at the Australian Open and Barcelona,​​​​ has nine titles in his history, one on grass, in Mallorca last year , the man as much as he could against the veteran French player, closing out his victory in three sets, 7-6 (8), 2-6 and 7-5, after two hours and 17 minutes.

Tsitsipas and Gasquet have met four times before and in three of them, including one this year in Miami, the wins went to the Athenian. However, the Frenchman’s only win was on grass, at Bolduque in 2018. This time he once again took advantage of his ability on this type of track and made the most of his rival’s lack of adaptation.

Gasquet will play in the quarterfinals with German Jan Lennard Struff who knocked out American Tommy Paul, fifth seed, in two ‘tie breaks’. By 7-6(4) and 7-6(5).

Hungarian Marton Fucsovics, who came from the previous stage, also advanced to the tournament, defeating Chinese Yibing Wu in three sets (6-4, 4-6 and 6-4). He will face American Taylor Fritz, second favorite, who left Russian Aslan Karatsev (7-6(4) and 6-3) on his way to the quarterfinals.
