Richard Gasquet beaten by Damir Dzumhur in Banja Luka

Since his title in Auckland in January, Richard Gasquet can no longer win more than one match per tournament. After his victory in the first round against the young Croatian hopeful Dino Prizmic (17 years old, 342nd), the French suffered the law in the second round of the Bosnian Damir Dzumhur (30 years old, 202nd) who is trying to come back after a few glitches (he was 23rd worldwide in 2018).

Bad start in the meeting, Gasquet quickly returned after the loss of the first set, easily taking the second set to break away at 3-1 in the third. Caught at 3-3 on the fifth break point, he reached the decisive game finally won by Dzumhur after 2:43 of the match.
