Open Sud Montpellier 250
- Thread starter herios
- Start date
What a lousy time to fall sick. This is from ATP website:
Fourth seed Richard Gasquet captured his third Open Sud de France title on Sunday in Montpellier.
The Frenchman now has a 20-6 record at this ATP World Tour 250 indoor hard-court tournament, having previously lifted the trophy in 2006 (d. Gicquel), when it was held in Lyon, and in 2013 (d. Paire). He finished runner-up to Gael Monfils in last year’s final, but avenged that loss with victory over his countryman in Saturday’s semi-finals.
Gasquet was crowned champion when Jerzy Janowicz was forced to retire ill just three games into the final. The fourth seed had won 14 straight points to open up a 3-0, 30/0 lead before Janowicz conceded.
"I'm extremely disappointed because I felt pretty OK the whole week," said Janowicz. "I saved six match points in the first round and after that I played pretty good tennis. Two days ago, I got sick. I haven't slept in almost two days. I had a fever and the flu and I'm so weak. There was not much that I could do today."

Hate to see anyone drop out of a final. But congrats to Gasquet. This seems to be his tournament.
And I have to say this is a tasty looking pizza. :snicker

or its a roman era mosaic, maybe the hubcap from emperor Augustus's car.
thus at the same time destroying the idea that the motor car was invented around the year 1885/86.
