Richard Gasquet and David Goffin are scheduled to face each other in the quarterfinal round of the 2022 ATP European Open on October 21.
David Goffin’s victory in this week’s first round at home in Antwerp would not have improved his mood or sagging confidence. The Belgian No. 1 lost the second set, dropped the third set, and gave up his service once in the decider, 7-6 5-7 6-4, against the outstanding Gilles Arnaud Bailly, a teenager who had played just seven professional matches in his career before to this week. The confidence and spirit of the former world #7 have already taken some hits in the second part of the season. During the summer hardcourt swing, he lost to players like Albert Ramos Vinolas and Laslo Djere and was defeated by a weakened Gilles Simon in straight sets.
In his first-round match against the former world #3 Stan Wawrinka, Richard Gasquet only won two games in the first set, saved three match points (on service) in the second set, and rallied from a set down to win, 2-6 7-6 6-4. The Frenchman had recently experienced a string of discouraging defeats, so this was a significant outcome for him. He recently lost to Gregoire Barrere and Jurgen Briand at the Challenger level and only defeated Brandon Nakashima in Florence’s opening round last week, winning just four games.
David Goffin and Richard Gasquet are scheduled to face each other in the quarterfinal round of the 2022 ATP European Open on Friday, October 21. The tournament is scheduled to begin on October 17 and end on October 23.
