Gasquet’s Love Affair With Montpellier Continues
Richard Gasquet eased past South Korea’s Kwon Soon-woo on Thursday to reach the quarterfinals of the Montpellier Open for the ninth time in his career,
The tournament has been one of his favourite over the years and three titles and three runner-up finishes are a testament to that. A 15-time champion on the tour, the 35-year-old’s three titles came in 2013, 2015 and 2016 while he finished second best in 2014, 2017 and 2018.
With the win over Kwon he improved his Montpellier record to 28-6.
Gasquet got just 50 percent of his first serves correct but won 895 of those points. He didn’t face a break point in the match and converted two of 13 to win the one-hour-and-40 minute contest 7-5, 6-4.
The veteran Frenchman had begun his campaign with a come-from-behind 6-7 (3-7), 6-4, 6-3 win over compatriot Ugo Humbert in the first round. Gasquet had also lost the first set to Humbert in the first round of the Australian Open but had rallied to win in four.
Gasquet will be looking to reach a seventh semifinal in Montpellier on Friday.

Ymer Stuns Monfils
It was a Thursday to remember for the Ymer brothers. First it was the elder brother Elias Ymer who stunned top seed Aslan Karatsev at the Maharashtra Open and then it was younger brother Mikael Ymer’s turn to pull off a massive upset in Montpellier as the 23-year-old shocked third seed Gael Monfils in straight sets.
In what turned out to be a rout for the World No. 16, Ymer dropped just five points on his serve, didn’t face a break point, but converted five of eight breaking chances to win 6-1, 6-2 in just under an hour.
The Swede, who had begun the season by reaching the quarterfinals of the Adelaide International-1 tournament, will be featuring in the last eight for the second time this year. And Gasquet will be the third Frenchman that he meets in the ATP 250 event, having also beaten Corentin Moutet in the first round.
Yet to drop a set in the tournament, Ymer beat Moutet 7-6 (7-5), 6-4.
The Swede is coming off a solid 2021 season, when he finished with an 18-20 record, which included his maiden final in Winston-Salem and third round appearances at the Australian and the French Opens. One of those wins at Roland Garros came against Monfils and on Thursday, he showed that it was no fluke as he extended his head-to-head lead against the Frenchman to 2-0.
Gasquet v Ymer Prediction and Tip
This is going to be a good contest. Ymer is in top form but Gasquet rules in Montpellier. It’s not easy to beat the Frenchman here. Expect Gasquet to reach the semis after a tough win.
