Gasquet Overcomes Van de Zandschulp in Bucharest

Just weeks away from retirement, Richard Gasquet secured his second ATP win of the year in Bucharest on Monday. The Frenchman came out on top against Botic Van de Zandschulp (4-6, 7-5, 6-1) after teetering on the edge of defeat.

Trailing 6-4, 4-1 against his opponent, Gasquet tightened his game to close the gap and snatch the second set. Van de Zandschulp completely collapsed in the final set, allowing the Frenchman to claim the 608th match win of his ATP career.

Gasquet could have a favorable shot in the second round against Flavio Cobolli, who has yet to win a match on the main tour this season.
