In Bercy,

He was (re) playing the bugger.

Alcaraz, Medvedev, Federer, Nadal Mc Enroe, Borg, who cares, Gaston's salad causes the same indigestion.

5-4, 40-0, not a break point to save despite the services of an asthmatic boar against the world number 2.

Bercy squared his eyes like us in front of the tricolor UFO.

Medvedev too, by the way, who was going to sit down in his chair, scorched with the ciboulot like the others.

Finally, the person laughed after the fact: "I remember the point at 40-0 very well, I think it's an ace on the line, I put the racket as I like to do, he is in it .

Then he just has to finish, he gets the wrong side on the forehand and I end up winning the set.

We have to admit that sometimes it's luck, that's why we love tennis ”.

And that we hate him at least as much.

Three harvested set bales

Gaston then escapes for a minute from a boiling room.

Finally, it is especially his tactical scheme that is the trunk.

Two Ave Maria cushionings balanced as if to say "damn it, I'll finish this set and quickly".

Two bad ideas, each time badly carried out.

What did it last?

A breath, a second, a blink of an eye.

5-5.

And Gaston has already come to his senses, twirling around, handing over all the Russian rockets, without forgetting to shoot his joints with cotton balls galore.

An exceptional defensive shot lifts the Accor Arena into the sky of Paris.

Then a suicidal serve-volley in the tie-break to save a set point.

But the momentum has passed, as they say in the States.

7-6 for the Russian on a last serving moth.

“Of course I must do better on this point, recognizes the Toulouse pile.

Well, I haven't seen it yet, but it is sure that against the best players in the world, this kind of mistakes, we pay cash.

Now I'm not going to stop at that, but rather at what I achieved during this tournament ”.

A second birth after Roland and a link now well established with the French public, in need of new leaders to support after Tsonga and company.

The new face of French tennis

Even in a second set lost in advance, Bercy clapped his hands and feet to help Gaston save the honor, first, then to cherish the hope of a second impossible comeback.

4-0, then 5-4 Medvedev who was not proud.

But the joints of the world number 2 are much stronger than those of the young Alcaraz.

67. End of adventure for @ HugoGaston7 but what a week!

The Frenchman, who has been scratching at the door of the Top 100 for a few weeks, will make a sensational entry: 36 places won to bring him to 67th place in the world.

Not serious.

Now firmly established in the top 100, Gaston will enter all the tables that matter, starting with the Masters Next Gen of the great hopes of the game next week in Milan.

No points to win, just fun to take and above all the confirmation that the 67th world now belongs to the big world.

All that remains for him to do is to give a little more of his person in order to break the ice with followers who only ask to tell about this little Asterix stamped "French talent" to the core.

It will come with time.

And the victories.
