Richard Gasquet won a 13th career singles title by beating fellow Frenchman Paul-Henri Mathieu 7-5, 6-4 in the Open Sud de France final in Montpellier on Sunday.
The top seeded world number 10 appeared to be suffering from abdominal pains and went 3-0 down in the opening set before prevailing.
He wrapped up with his first match point when Mathieu sent a backhand just long.
"(Mathieu) hit the ball hard, at the begining I could not compete but then I served much better," said Gasquet, now a four times winner in Montpellier after titles in 2006, 13 and 15.

Bautista Agut, who won last month's Auckland Classic and reached the last 16 at the Australian Open, is enjoying his best start to an ATP World Tour season with a 12-2 record and two titles.
"It is special how I start the season this year. I have to be very happy with the title," he said.
