![]() ![]() In the first-round action rounded out on Tuesday, Thanasi Kokkinakis earned his first win on clay in seven years in style with a 6-4, 6-3 win over Fabio Fognini. Gasquet's quarter-final opponent in Switzerland will be Kamil Majchrzak, after the Pole brushed past qualifier Marco Cecchinato, 6-2, 6-3. With the win, Gasquet levels his ATP Head2Head series with Medvedev at 2-2. Gasquet won six games in a row from 2-2 in the opening set to take charge of the encounter and, despite Medvedev’s late rally to level the second set, it was the Frenchman who remained the more consistent into the tie-break. The 35-year-old certainly looked settled early against the top seed, combining cleverly placed drop shots with elegant ground strokes to capitalise on a slow start from Medvedev. Like Medvedev, Gasquet is playing in Geneva for the first time this year, and the Frenchman had already shown he felt at home on the Swiss clay with a 6-3, 6-1 first-round win over John Millman. ![]()
