BANGKOK, Thailand -- Second-seeded Richard Gasquet won his first tournament of the year when he beat former champion Gilles Simon 6-2, 6-1 in an all French final of the Thailand Open at the Impact Arena Muang Thong Thani on Sunday. . The No. 14-ranked Gasquet, who last won a title in Nice in 2011, routed the fourth-seeded 2009 champion in just 68 minutes, for his seventh career victory. He became the third Frenchman to win in Bangkok since Jo-Wilfried Tsongas victory in 2008. "Hes French player and a friend of mine. Its a bit strange. I have won tough matches this week. Its good for me because I had to come back to win twice in a week," Gasquet said. "Its my seventh title. Im really happy." Playing with a right-knee injury Simon, who has never beaten Gasquet, started brightly by securing an early break but failed to capitalize on his advantage. Gasquet proved more accurate with his groundstrokes, breaking the error-prone Simon in the sixth game to lead 4-2. Gasquet then held his serve and broke again to take the opening set when Simon hit a forehand wide. Simon stretched his knee before the second set and again started by breaking Gasquet. But he appeared sluggish and tended to falter first in longer rallies. Trailing 5-1, Simon saved two match points but Gasquet hit a backhand crosscourt winner to wrap up the match. Simon said the injury affected him during throughout the game. "It happened right before the match. It was OK this morning. But when I started warming up before the match, I started to feel something there," Simon said. "It was harder to push for my right play every time. When you have so many injuries, its difficult because you just dont know. You have to play with it. You dont know if its gonna be worse if you push.

Hes got a test coming up. The former Boston and Philadelphia manager will interview Friday with the club, which fired Manny Acta last week following a second-half collapse that dropped the Indians from contention to near the bottom of the AL Central. Francona, who led the Red Sox to World Series titles in 2004 and 2007, will be the second candidate interviewed. On Thursday, Sandy Alomar Jr. will have his formal interview to become the Indians full-time manager. Alomar, who served as Actas bench coach, was named the clubs interim manager with six games left. The Indians are 2-3 under Alomar heading into Wednesdays season finale against the Chicago White sox. Alomar was a six-time All-Star catcher with the Indians and immensely popular with Cleveland fans. The 46-year-old has previously interviewed with the Chicago Cubs, Toronto and Boston. Hes in line to get a major leagues managers job, but Alomar understands Francona may be viewed as a better option for the Indians, who contended for four months before going 5-24 in Augustt -- the worst month in the franchises 112-year history.

Geez, I wish I had that. As a player, maybe I did. But as a coach? He has an unbelievable resume. Obviously, anybody would want a Terry Francona. Im just going to go out there and do what I have to do and let the rest take care of itself." Francona has been working as an analyst for ESPN. He was a special assistant in Clevelands front office in 2001, and told the AP last week that he would welcome a chance to work again with Indians general manager Chris Antonetti and team president Mark Shapiro. "Chris and Mark are very dear to me and very important to me," he said. "I know there are challenges and I look forward to maybe having the chance to work again with people I care about." Francona was let go by the Red Sox after the 2011 season, when the team collapsed down the stretch He has a 1,029-915 record in 12 major league seasons. Franconas father, Tito, played for the Indians from 1959 through 1964. ' ' '
