The Greek gives in to the French, the fourth player to reach 600. The Russian surrenders to Mannarino
Tsitsipas in love debuted with a defeat in Stuttgart, a tournament already fatal to Matteo Berrettini and Lorenzo Sonego. The Greek loses to Richard Gasquet in three sets 7-6(8) 2-6 7-5 with some regrets, while the Frenchman becomes the fourth player to reach his 600th career victory on the ATP circuit in addition to Nadal, Djokovic and Murray : “It’s an incredible achievement for me – said Gasquet after the match -. I’ve played 20 years on the tour and it’s an impressive number. I’m really happy but I’ll try to increase the number a little more”. Gasquet pulled out of his trunks all his classic solutions, angles and changes of direction that destabilized the Greek. His serve performance is also excellent with 81% of points with the first one: “It was an incredible match, at one point I felt a lot of pressure to win, Stefanos served very well”.

After the winning return more than two years after the last match, the Canadian Milos Raonic stops at the hands of the Australian Jordan Thompson with a score of 7-6 6-1.
