Tennis-Gasquet wins at home to seal second title of the season

PARIS, Feb 10 (Reuters) - World number 10 Richard Gasquet clinched his second title of the year by easily beating fellow Frenchman Benoit Paire 6-2 6-3 in the Montpellier Open on Sunday. Gasquet, who had already won in Doha last month, took one hour and nine minutes to cruise past the 43th-ranked Paire. The 26-year-old Gasquet, born only 40 miles from Montpellier, now has nine trophies to his name and his win on Sunday was the first time he had landed multiple titles in a single year since 2006.
