Richard Gasquet has fingers to spare to count the tournaments he has left to play in his professional career. Approaching his last clay court tour, with Roland Garros as the endpoint to an extraordinary trajectory, the 38-year-old Frenchman couldn't be more committed in this final stretch. This Monday, at the ATP 250 in Bucharest, the stands enjoyed watching him come back against Botic Van de Zandschulp (4-6, 7-5, 6-1) to secure his fourth victory of the season. We'll see how things go in the next match against Flavio Cobolli; anything is possible on the path of a man who now plays solely for the love of this sport.
