By winning his first-round match in Monte-Carlo against Arnaldi (6-3, 4-6, 6-4), Gasquet once again pushed the boundaries of age. Like his compatriot Gaël Monfils, the Frenchman has advanced to the second round at 38 years old.
This victory is symbolic, as it comes 23 years after his first win in the Principality. He will face Altmaier for a spot in the round of 16.
