Local favorite Richard Gasquet won the Open Sud de France when Jerzy Janowicz retired ill while trailing 3-0 in the first set on Sunday.

The fourth-seeded Gasquet, who did not lose a set all week, lifted the trophy for the third time after winning in 2006, when the tournament was held in Lyon, and 2013. Last year, Gasquet was runner-up to his French Davis Cup teammate Gael Monfils, whom he beat in the semifinals on Saturday.

Janowicz retired after losing 14 straight points as the 28-year-old Gasquet, who was born in the nearby city of Beziers, raced to a 3-0, 30-0 lead.
