Richard Gasquet wins Lyon International

LYON: Richard Gasquet beat unseeded French compatriot Marc Gicquel 6-3 6-1 to win the Lyon International on Sunday.   

Fourth seed Gasquet, who will carry French hopes at the Paris Masters Series event next week, was too consistent for Gicquel who was playing in his first ATP final.   

Gasquet broke his opponent's serve to lead 4-1 and went on to wrap up the first set 6-3.   

Gicquel then collapsed in the second set, dropping his serve twice in a row before hitting a backhand wide on Gasquet's first match point.
