PARIS (Reuters) -Crowd darling Richard Gasquet got to fight another day in his final French Open appearance as he dispatched fellow Frenchman Terence Atmane 6-2 2-6 6-3 6-0 in the first round on Monday.
Playing in a record 22nd French Open, Gasquet, who will retire after Roland Garros, got off to a great start before losing the plot, only to be put back into the driving seat when his opponent suffered from cramp.
