Gasquet Wins Battle of Rising Stars
In the only main draw match on the opening day of the Open 13 in Marseille,
16-year-old French prodigy Richard Gasquet thrilled local fans by winning a
tough match against rising Spaniard Feliciano Lopez, 6-7(4), 6-4, 6-4.
In 2002, Gasquet became the youngest player in 15 years to win a main draw
match on the ATP circuit in Monte Carlo, where he had also become the
youngest player ever to qualify for a Tennis Masters Series event. He was
the youngest player in the ATP's year-end Top 200 last year, and his Entry
Ranking has surged to a career-high No. 139 after he reached the semifinals
of the Challenger event in Belgrade last week.
WHAT THE PLAYERS SAID
Gasquet: "The crowd in Marseille was great, it was really special to play
in front of this public."
"I am looking forward to possibly playing Yevgeny Kafelnikov in the next
round -- he was always one of my heroes growing up."
"I'm not hoping for anything special in this tournament -- I have no
expectations, all that I am hoping for is to play a good match, to play well."
