Federer Outlasted by Qualifier Gasquet at ATP Monte Carlo


Posted on April 15, 2005

World No. 1 Roger Federer's claycourt quest hit a detour Friday at the ATP Masters Series-Monte Carlo when the Swiss was defeated 6-7(1), 6-2, 7-6(8) by French qualifier Richard Gasquet.

The loss ended Federer's 25-match winning streak, with Gasquet becoming the youngest French player at 18 years of ever to ever upend a No. 1 player.

Federer broke serve with Gasquet attempting to serve it out at 5-4 in the third, but was outlasted by the speedy Frenchman in the tiebreak.
