Gael Monfils beat top-seeded Richard Gasquet 6-4, 6-4 on Sunday in the final of the Open Sud de France to claim his fifth career title.
In an all-French match against the defending champion, Monfils did not face any break points -- hitting 34 winners to 17 for Gasquet, and serving nine aces to zero for his opponent.
