Pospisil knocks off Gasquet early
Richard Gasquet was dealt a setback to his chances of qualifying for the elite ATP Finals after a first-round loss to Canada’s Vasek Pospisil 6-3, 6-4 in the Shanghai Masters on Tuesday. Pospisil is having a breakthrough year, reaching his maiden Masters semifinal in Montreal and helping guide Canada to the Davis Cup semifinals for the first time last month. Pospisil was joined in the second round by Milos Raonic of Thornhill, Ont., who served 16 aces to defeat Polish qualifier Michal Przysiezny 6-4, 6-4..
