Gasquet makes short work of Crivoi

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BUCHAREST, Romania -- Top-seeded Richard Gasquet easily defeated Romania's Victor Crivoi 6-3, 6-2 on Thursday to advance to the quarter-finals of the BCR Open Romania.

It took Gasquet, seeded 12th by ATP, just over an hour to overcome little-known Romanian player Crivoi. The 22-year-old Frenchman easily surpassed his opponent by winning points from his service and return.

Also Thursday, eighth-seeded Jose Acasusuo advanced the quarter-finals after defeating fellow Argentinian player Martin Vassallo Arguell 6-4, 7-5. Acasuso played more consistently and his experience showed.

Ivan Navarro of Spain defeated Denis Gremelmayr of Germany, 6-3, 1-0 after the German player retired, and Russia's Teimuraz Gabashvili defeated Adrian Cruciat of Romania 6-1, 6-2 in less than an hour.
