Gasquet looks forward to Bellucci match

Richard Gasquet believes that he will have to be on top form to defeat Thomaz Bellucci in round two of the Rogers Cup.

The world number 11 set up a meeting with Brazilian Bellucci having defeated Florian Mayer 6-3 6-2 earlier today.

Gasquet has already faced Bellucci once this year, coming out on top in the French Open 6-2 6-3 3-6 6-3.

"He [Bellucci] is a tough guy to play against," said the Frenchman.

"I had the fans behind me in Paris and I remember I played a very good match against him.

"But I know he's powerful and very talented. It's a big match for me and to win against him I will have to play a great match."

Gasquet, 25, has won six titles in his career.
