In the second round of the 2025 French Open, Jannik Sinner defeated Richard Gasquet which proved to be the latter’s career last match. The veteran Frenchman had earlier announced his decision to retire after the Roland-Garros this year. However, fans shared mixed reactions online after Sinner showed no mercy defeating the local star in straight sets, 6-3, 6-0, 6-4 on Thursday, May 29.<\/p>\n

Gasquet made his debut on tour at the 2002 Monte-Carlo Masters. The 38-year-old captured 16 ATP titles and reached the semifinals in Wimbledon twice during his career (2007, 2015). He achieved his career-high ranking of No. 7 in July 2007.<\/p>\n

His best result at Roland-Garros came in 2016 when he reached the quarterfinals. Despite a valiant effort in the first set against Andy Murray, the Frenchman conceded a bagel and suffered a heavy defeat. Nine years later, the current World No. 1 Jannik Sinner delivered another bagel to Gasquet which triggered some interesting reactions from tennis fans on social media.<\/p>\n

One particular fan took a dig at Sinner’s ruthless performance and predicted that\u00a0Novak Djokovic’s son Stefan, born in 2005, would do the same to the Italian in the future. Another fan reshared a screenshot of the post about Djokovic’s son beating Sinner in future on X and wrote:<\/p>\n

“Good job Jannik, but lesson for the day.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Go stand in the corner and think about what you just did. Someday you’ll be retiring in Rome and Stefan Djokovic would bagel you.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
