The top seeded Jannik Sinner ended Richard Gasket’s professional career with a 6-3, 6–0, 6-4 decision on Thursday in the second round of the French Open in Paris.
The 23 -year -old Italian sent the 38 -year -old French to the Loland Garos in 58 minutes in an hour. Sinner also bounced Gasket from the French Open last year.
“This is clearly a very special place for me to play and Richard,” Sinner said. “We also played last year. It is very difficult but I am happy in the third round.”
Cinner’s victory was his 16th in a row in a Grand Slam, which became the first person to be born in or later in 1990 or later.
“We have a good relationship with the court. We are different generations, but this is your moment,” the sinner said to Gasket. “Congratulations to your family, your team. It is impossible to make such an incredible career, without the great people around each player. You play in such an incredible era of tennis and everyone will recognize you even after retirement.”
On the ATP tour, a 16 -time winner Gasket told the L’awquip newspaper in October that he would bid in front of his home fans in Rolland Garos.
Known for its sensational, one-hand backhand, Gasket reached the career-high ranking of number 7.
Gaskett never won the Grand Slam singles title, however, was going twice in Wimbledon (2007, 2015) to the semi -finals and once in the US Open (2013). His best performance at the French Open was a quarterfinal appearance in 2016.
While the 23 -year career of Gaskett comes close, the sinner will return to court to face Jiri Leheka in the third round. Czech won 6-3, 3-6, 6-1, 6-2 over Spain’s 26th seeded Elelejandro Davidovich Fokina.
In addition, on Thursday, Germany’s third seed Alexander Zverev incorrectly rebound a first set to win 3-6, 6–1, 6–2, 6-3 on Jesper de Jong, Netherlands. Zeverev had 43 winners and served D Jong seven times to win the match in three hours.
Fourteenth seed Frenchman Arthur Fhiles survived a intimidation as well as a back injury-7-6 (3), 7-6 (4), 2-6, 0-6, by posting a 6-4 victory over the jam Munar of Spain. The marathon match lasted for four hours, 25 minutes.
Australia’s ninth seed Alex de Minaur and 19th seed Jacob of Czech Republic were not as lucky as Mensic. Alexander Bublike of Kazakhstan fought his way to win 2-6, 2-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-2 on De Minaur, while Heinrich Rocha of Portugal won 2-6, 1-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3, Mennsic.
