Monday Arnaud Clement surprised the spectators at the Tennis Masters
Monte-Carlo by stunning No. 14 seed Fernando Gonzalez of Chile 6-4, 6-3.
The Frenchman, who is playing in only his fourth tournament of 2003
following a right wrist injury, reached the second round in the Tennis
Masters Series events in Indian Wells and Miami last month.
Sixth-seed David Nalbandian had little trouble disposing of 16-year-old
wild card Richard Gasquet 6-4, 6-0. The French teenager made his Monte
Carlo debut last year and scored a first-round win over Franco Squillari
before falling to Marat Safin.
This year Gasquet had a harder time living up to the expectations of the
Monte Carlo crowd. In the first set he managed to stay in the match, but
in the second set he struggled with his serve and was broken three times.
The Argentine captured the match when the Frenchman hit a forehand long.
"Of course I'm disappointed. Emotionally it was tough for me today, and
I was very, very nervous. Last year I played so well here and I wanted to
do it again this year," said the Frenchman after the loss. "Even though
you couldn't tell by the match today, the difference from one year ago is
that I serve better and that I'm fitter physically."
Nalbandian, who had a breakthrough season on the circuit when he won two
ATP titles and reached the Wimbledon final last year, played in the Monte
Carlo draw for the first time in 2002 and defeated Roger Federer before
falling to Safin in the third round.
