Two and a half years later, Hugo Gaston is in trouble.

According The Team, the duo of always that he formed with his trainer Marc Barbier did not resist. The two men separated in March, after Gaston’s South American tour.
On trial with El Aynaoui
He has been training since last week with the Moroccan Younes El Aynaoui (former 14th in the world) for a trial period, which runs in particular during the Marrakech tournament that the young Frenchman starts on Monday.
The current 104th in the world is aiming for a direct place in the final draw of Roland-Garros (May 28 – June 11), of which he had reached the 3rd round last year.
