This defeat will be very hard to take for Gilles Simon. Opposed to Marcos Giron (60e world) to 1is qualifying round at Bercy, the Frenchman simply collapsed.
He led 5–0, then 5–1 and 40–0 on his serve in the last set, with three match points. Debroken for the first time, “Gillou” has obtained three new opportunities to conclude at 5–3. Again missed.
Simon lost sets in a row in the deciding set and lost 7-6 (4), 4-6, 5-7, in 2:56 hours of fighting.
Big disappointment for the 122e worldwide …
