Ruud took part in a tournament in Montreal last week. In that competition, Casper managed to beat James Duckworth at the start, but then he was unable to play in the third round match against Sebastian Korda due to illness. In the last ten matches, the Norwegian has won five.
Professional qualities
Ruud is considered a clay court specialist, but Casper has improved his game significantly on faster surfaces over the past year.
