Ramos and Martínez say goodbye in the second round; Munar survives

Bad start to the day for the Spanish at the ATP 250 in Parma. Albert Ramos and Pedro Martínez said goodbye to the tournament in the second round with defeats in three sets in matches in which they stayed halfway back.

Ramos could not beat the Slovakian, 30 years old and 87th in the world, Norbert Gombos, who beat him 6-3, 6-7 (4) and 6-2 in 2:37. Both had met a few weeks ago at the Andalusia Open with a victory for the Catalan in another even duel. Gombos will face Italian Cecchinato.

Martínez, for his part, tried against the 34-year-old Frenchman and 51st in the world Richard Gasquet, who was inspired to win 6-3, 3-6 and 6-3 in a match that had many alternatives in each sleeve and that ended up taking the contemporary of Rafa Nadal in 2h: 22 with a break more (4) than the Valencian. They had never faced each other. Gasquet will see them in the quarterfinals with the only survivor of the Navy in the singles box, Jaume Munar, who went through the retirement of the 32-year-old Frenchman and 40th in the Benoit Paire ranking, when he beat him by 7-5 and 3-1.
