Early US Open exit for Gasquet
Hoping to make a run at the year’s final major after reaching the last 16 at Wimbledon, 12th seed Gasquet was his own worst enemy as he committed an astounding 64 unforced errors in becoming the highest seeded player to lose. Haas entered as a dangerous opponent, with the German having reached the quarter-finals here in each of the last two years.
Elsewhere in a match which featured some high intensity, Marat Safin outlasted American Vincent Spadea 3-6 6-2 6-3 4-6 6-4.
