An ace did the trick for 1-5, a scoreline somehow nowhere near as fear-inducing as the first-set whitewash Gasquet was staring down. Completely against the run of play, the Frenchman did what he knew was the only feasible strategy against a man he had not won a solitary set against in a decade – teeing off at any sniff of an opening.
