The Latest: Gasquet and Berlocq Stay Out Late, Even at 2-2

___

9:20 p.m.

Home fans stayed out late in the hope that 20th-seeded Frenchman Richard Gasquet could beat Carlos Berlocq of Argentina.

He couldn't quite finish it Thursday.

After losing the first set, Gasquet won the next two to take control.

But as the light faded, so did Gasquet's momentum, and Berlocq leveled the match at 6-3, 3-6, 1-6, 6-4 after 2 hours, 50 minutes.

As the clock reached 9:20 p.m., Berlocq threw his bag over his shoulder and gave a friendly wave to the fans as the weary players finally went off Suzanne Lenglen court, with their match to resume Friday.
