Golden Squid Report
Richard Gasquet (Golden Squid since 6/27/2011) - Gasquet matched last year's performance by reaching the fourth round, losing to countryman Jo-Wilfred Tsonga (7th, France) in four sets. He started off 2013 very strong, winning the Qatar Open in Doha. He made the fourth round at all four Majors last year - a tough feat to match.
