Gasquet Battles Past Laaksonen
2018 Marrakech semifinalist Rickard Gasquet moved into the second round with a hard fought win over Switzerland’s Henri Laaksonen.
The 35-year-old Frenchman got the only break of the first set but had a tough time in the second. He was the first to break, but Laaksonen broke twice to get his nose in front. Gasquet sent the set back on serve by breaking again in the ninth game, but was broken immediately in the next game as the Swiss took the second set.
The third set began with three consecutive breaks of serve, Gasquet had two of those and he protected that advantage till the end of the set to secure a 7-5, 4-6, 6-4 victory in two hours and 21 minutes.
Thanks to the win, Gasquet is now 5-5 for the season. The 15-time tour level champion and 17-time finalist had made it to the last eight in Montpellier, but hasn’t done well in the other tournaments. He also featured in one Challenger tournament in Phoenix, reaching the quarterfinals.

Kotov Rallies Past Griekspoor
Facing Gasquet will be 23-year-old Pavel Kotov, who registered his first tour-level victory with a stunning comeback win over the Netherlands’ Tallon Griekspoor.
Kotov, who qualified for the main draw with straight sets win over Brazil’s Rafael Matos and Spain’s Fernando Verdasco, was outplayed by the Dutchman in the first set of the first round. Griekspoor dropped just three points on his serve and didn’t face a single break point as he bagelled the World no. 172 in just 28 minutes.
But the Russian made a resounding comeback, breaking Griekspoor five times in the next two sets, while getting broken just one more time, during the second set. Kotov eventually won the match 0-6, 6-2, 6-2 in an hour and 53 minutes.
Kotov picked his first Challenger title in Forli in December and then added another in January in the same city. He has shown better performance on hard courts so far, but having got his first tour-level win on clay, he would be looking to build on that.
Gasquet v Kotov Prediction and Tip
