Author of his 555th victory on the circuit, Richard Gasquet will not meet Benoît Paire in the quarterfinals of the ATP 250 tournament in Parma.
The Biterrois, striker this Wednesday of Pablo Martinez in three sets (6-3, 3-6, 6-3), will face another Spaniard, Jaume Munar.
The latter took advantage of the abandonment of Paire, seeded number 2 in the Italian event, who dropped the case (on injury?) When he was led 7-5, 3-1.
In sporting but also mental difficulties for months, the Avignon man again insulted himself out loud to verbalize his discomfort.
He did not, as in Rome two weeks ago, photograph a ball that he believed to be good but deemed a fault, but all this is not reassuring before Roland-Garros, which begins on Sunday.
