July 2022. In the year 2024, Gaston has a win-loss record of 9-12, with his notable performance reaching the final of the Kitzbuhel tournament.
Gaston’s breakthrough into the top 100 came after reaching the quarterfinals of the 2021 ATP Masters 1000 Paris as a qualifier. He followed this achievement by making his first ATP Tour quarterfinal, semifinal, and final appearances at the 2021 Gstaad tournament, when he was ranked No. 155. He also competed in the Next Gen ATP Finals at the end of that season.
In the 2024 Kitzbuhel tournament, Gaston saved two match points to defeat defending champion Baez and advance to his second ATP Tour final.
Notably, Gaston made history at the 2020 Roland Garros by becoming the first Frenchman to reach the fourth round in his tournament debut since Dominguez accomplished the feat in 1971. In the process, he defeated 2015 champion Wawrinka in a five-set match before eventually falling to two-time finalist Thiem in another five-set battle.
Gaston also holds the distinction of being the lowest-ranked player, at No. 239, to reach the fourth round of a Grand Slam since No. 248 Canas at the 2004 Australian Open. This achievement is parallel to No. 283 Di Pasquale’s feat at Roland Garros in 2002.
During the 2018 season, Gaston concluded his junior career as the World No. 2, after winning a gold medal in boys’ singles and bronze medals in both boys’ doubles and mixed doubles at the Youth Olympics.
Gaston is aiming to match his personal-best record of 10 wins in a season, achieved in 2022, by securing his first ATP Tour win on hard courts since defeating Shapovalov in the first round of the Marseille tournament in February.
