Gasquet cruises

Third-seeded Richard Gasquet, of France, was untroubled on his serve as he beat Inigo Cervantes 6-2, 6-4 to reach the quarter-finals of the European tennos open yesterday. Gasquet won 92 per cent of his points on first serve, did not face a single break point and broke the Spaniard’s serve three times in a lopsided match. Gasquet next faces either fifth-seeded countryman Gilles Simon or Germany’s Jan-Lennard Struff.
