Masters 1000 of Paris Bercy 2023 Gasquet eliminated Gael Monfils on

The French lost yesterday, but four other tricolors enter the fray today, including Gaël Monfils and Arthur Fils, on whom a lot of hope rests.

Black day yesterday for the French, for the opening of the Paris-Bercy Masters. Richard Gasquet delivered a superb performance against Tommy Paul, seeded number 12, but ultimately lost in the tie-break of the third set after missing three match points (0-6, 6-2, 7- 6). Same taste of unfinished for Luca Van Asschewho is half the age of his elder (19 years old compared to 38 for Gasquet): the young Frenchman ended up giving in at the end of the third round against the Serbian Laslo Djere, 36th in the world (6-7, 6-4 , 6-4).

Alexandre Muller was beaten more sharply by Roman Safiullin (7-6, 6-3), like Adrian Mannarino, the French number 1 who committed too many unforced errors against Botic Van De Zandschulp, although less well ranked (6-4, 7-5). Four of the eight French players competing at Bercy are therefore eliminated, after already disappointing qualifications, since none of the 7 French players entered managed to join the main draw. We will also note the eliminations of the legends Andy Murray and Stanislas Wawrinka in this first round, respectively against Alex De Minaur and Dominic Thiem.

Humbert best French chance, Monfils to finish

This Tuesday, the four other French people will have to save the results of this first round. Benjamin Bonzi will open the day with a difficult match against the Serbian Dusan Lajovic, before the entry into the running of the one many are waiting for, Arthur Fils. The young prodigy, 38th in the world at 19, faces the German Daniel Altmeier, an opponent within his reach but far from easy to beat. He will want to win to offer himself a gala duel against Taylor Fritz: “I’m starting to grow, I have strong ambitions, the federation has helped me really well throughout my young career, at some point I have to take flight. I have confidence in my choices, I hope that it will pay off and that it will take me high”, confided Arthur Son before the tournament. Then will come the match of Ugo Humbert, French number 2 and very fit at the end of the season, who will be favorite against the qualifier Marcos Giron. Finally, to close the first round, the public idol Gaël Monfils will have a major challenge against the Argentinian Francisco Cerundolo, 21st in the world.

At the end of the draw, we can already look forward to the potential quarter-finals. The Alcaraz part is tricky. Back after his injury, the Spaniard could find Cameron Norrie for his entry into the running if he eliminates the Frenchman Alexandre Müller. Then, the world number 2 could rub shoulders with Alexander Zverev or Stéfanos Tsitsipas. Casper Ruud and Daniil Medvedev. For Novak Djokovic, he could find Taylor Fritz, Holger Runedefending champion who beat him in the final last year, Andrey Rublev and especially Jannik Sinner can stand against the Serbian.
