Nitto ATP Finals 2022, Turin, Italy

[Front242]

Might actually have a small punt on him against Novak too.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I think I heard some "booos" from the audience. Embarrasing play.

Correct, I dont think they paid money to watch this quite frankly 4-1 2nd set

 

[Front242]

If Ruud does well in clay season I'd still see Nadal spanking him if both met at RG, especially in a final. He proved that for us all by losing in straight sets to Nadal on Nadal's worst surface and a surface that Ruud is actually decent on. He really needs to work on his level against the top 3.

Ruud routining Rublev.

Not even that DJ can warm this up!

Ruud needs to work on his bhand, that was apparent at this years final at RG and the USO

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Has Rublev got some Italian roots, he makes gestures just like me lol!

 

[Moxie]

Well, there's life in the young Russian yet.

 

[Tennis_Steve]

Phew he breaks one back.

Mohammed the limelight loving Swedish ump

Maybe too little too late, but let's see. Where were those shots for the whole match?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Lets see if Ruud can serve out the match for a 2nd time

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Ruud d Rublev 62 64 into the final
I will be interesting to hear what Rublev has to say about his performance in this match

 

[Front242]

That's all folks. BWEHetter luck next time! Rublev's grunt is BWEH in case anyone is going wtf

 

[Moxie]

And he does. Should Ruud win tomorrow, he takes over #2 from Nadal.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Come the eff on Ruud. Now beat Novak and stop coming up short in these big finals.

 

[Tennis_Steve]

Short and sweet for Kasper

Singlehandedly putting Norwegian tennis on the map.

Watching the Rublev temper highlights, new name Rantblev

Novak barely beat Fritz who lost to Ruud so it's not out of the question that Ruud wins. When I say barely obviously he didn't lose a set but that was so close that a mere few points would have reversed the straight sets 2 TBs result.

Yeah, I hate to make it about one point, but Fritz was distracted by someone calling out in a crucial moment, and I think he was serving for the 2nd set. That was too bad. TBs usually go to the far more experienced player.

Didn't watch it but that's unfortunate. I watched the highlights of his last few matches though and he blasted loads of sloppy errors to lose both which was tough after hanging in there till the end.

Casper Ruud has reached the final four of the seven biggest events in the calendar this year, RG, Miami, US Open, ATP Finals. A solid achievement for someone who started the season without a single slam QF to his name
