With French decathlon champion Kevin Mayer cheering him on, Gasquet could do little to hinder his opponent storming to his 33rdstraight set at Roland-Garros, breaking his previous mark set in 2007-2009. A familiar pattern ensued when Nadal continued on his ruthless way, breaking in the opening game of the third.
