Richard Gasquet put in a commanding show on Grandstand court to eliminate Bernard Tomic from the US Open in straight sets.
Playing first up on a sunny Saturday in New York, all facets of the Frenchman’s game were firing in a 6-4 6-3 6-1 win, achieved in just 89 minutes.
Tomic, undoubtedly physically and emotionally drained following his sapping five-set defeat of Lleyton Hewitt in the previous round, simply could not match it with the 12th seed.
