BANGKOK, Sept. 26 (UPI) -- Defending champion Richard Gasquet sailed through his second-round match Thursday at the Thailand Open tennis tournament.
Gasquet picked up his seventh ATP title in Bangkok last year and has won twice. He advanced to the Thailand Open quarterfinals with a 6-3, 6-2 win over Lukas Lacko. Gasquet fought off all four of Lacko's break-point chances and won nearly three-quarters of the points on serve.
