Grigor Dimitrov left the ATP 500 tournament in Dubai after being defeated by the Frenchman Richard Gasquet 2-6 4-6. Grigor had a weak first set with too many errors and the service not at good level. This lead to Gasquet winning the first set 6-2 in 26 minutes. Dimitrov was better in the second set but could not break when he was leading 4-3. The Frenchman took his service game 4-4 and then succeeded to break to 5-4. Then easily took his service game to win the set and the match.
