MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine Mavericks' right-handed maestro Richard Gasquet breezed past his Argentine foe Leonardo Mayer to punch a ticket to Paribas Masters' third round.

Gasquet manhandled Mayer in two easy sets, 6-2, 7-5.

Meanwhile, the Frenchman's teammate Borna Coric got a taste of high-profile tennis action after locking horns with tournament second seed Andy Murray.

Coric, an up-and-coming Croatian netter who shot to fame after upsetting the Brit in 2013, fell 1-6, 2-6, bowing out of contention.

The Japan Warriors' Kei Nishikori, for his part, is also advancing to the next phase of action after mounting a valiant stand to fend off Jeremy Chardy of France.

Former US Open king and UAE Royals netter Marin Cilic got the boot at the hands of Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov.

Dapat magtrabaho nang husto ang Philippine National Police (PNP) para hanapin ang taong kinausap ni Vice President Sara Duterte na papatay kina President Ferdinand Marcos Jr, First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos at House Speaker Martin Romualdez. Kung hindi agarang kikilos ang PNP, sila ang masisisi kapag may nangyari sa mga binantaang papatayin.
