Australian Open – 2nd round – The French's day: Hugo Gaston gives up

The challenge already seemed very complicated for him. But diminished, Hugo Gaston had no chance of going further in this Australian Open. Opposed to a player in form in the person of Jiri Lehecka, recently titled in Brisbane and 29th in the world, the French left-hander did not finish the game, giving up when he was trailing by a set and a break (6-3, 3-1 ab.) after 57 minutes of play. In the 3rd round of the tournament, the Czech will face another Frenchman Benjamin Bonzi or the Italian Francesco Passaro.
