The third round of the 2016 Winston-Salem Open got underway Wednesday, as the field attempted to round itself into shape in the final tuneup for the U.S. Open. 

After looking vulnerable in his second-round match, top-seeded Richard Gasquet was strong in his defeat of countryman Stephane Robert. Third-seeded Pablo Cuevas and fourth-seeded Steve Johnson weren't so lucky, though, as both bowed out in straight-set losses.

Gasquet barely broke a sweat in his 6-1, 6-3 win over Robert. The Frenchman broke Robert five times, saved seven times when facing a break and won 64 percent of the match's points overall. Robert double-faulted on six occasions and won only five of his 22 points when he got second serves in play.

 



“I was very pleased with the way I played,” Gasquet said, per John Delong of the tournament's website. “I had a tough first-round match, but I was feeling better today because it’s always difficult to play the first round. I’ve known Stephane for a long time now, and I know how dangerous he can be, so I’m very happy to be in the quarterfinals here.”

Gasquet, 30, reached the U.S. Open semifinals in 2013 and the quarterfinals a year ago. He's struggled over the past couple of months with a back injury and said he hopes playing in Cincinnati helps him get back into form.

“The longer you play, the better you are playing, the better you feel physically, because you are running, you are fighting on the court,” Gasquet said. “I need it. When you are not on tour, it is very difficult to come back. That’s why I need matches. That’s why I came here, and now I’m in the quarterfinals. So everything is progressing well.”

Cuevas, meanwhile, had an opposite experience in Cincinnati. His second-round match was a breeze, but his third round ended in disappointment.&nb...
