Jonas Forejtek vs. Richard Gasquet – Prediction – ATP Sofia (Bulgaria) 11.11.2020

H2H: Jonas Forejtek v Richard Gasquet – comparison.

For the second time in three days, Jonas Forejtek faces a top player who has been going through a rough patch at the moment. Experience on the main tour makes Richard Gasquet the favorite, but he needs to be at the top of his game to avoid an upset at the hands of the talented and competent Czech.

Jonas Forejtek stunned the former US Open champion and fellow ATP Sofia debutant Marin Cilic in straight sets to move into the second round of this Bulgarian indoor hard court tournament, 6-3 6-2. It was a hugely impressive performance from the 19-year-old Jonas Forejtek, especially considering he has never played a match on the main tour before. He broke the big-serving Croatian’s serve in the early stages of both sets and won 83% of his first-serve points to race to a dominant win.

In all fairness, the result wasn’t a big surprise considering Marin Cilic’s struggles on tour in recent months and the Czech youngster’s talent and performance on the junior and ITF circuits in recent years. Jonas Forejtek, who won the US Open Boys’ Singles title and Australian Open Boys’ Doubles title in 2019, has won 59 matches since the start of the 2019 season, which earned him two ITF titles and two in the exhibition events during the tour suspension, where he defeated the likes of Zdenek Kolar and Vaclav Safranek.

Robert Carballes Baena created a few breakpoints in the first set and led the second set with an early break, but Richard Gasquet recovered quickly to get the job done in straight sets, 6-3 6-4. Former world #7 Richard Gasquet will now look to register consecutive main draw wins on the main tour for the first time since progressing to the quarterfinal in ATP Dubai back in February. He has competed in six tournaments at this level since the restart and could win only three matches.
