Roland Garros / French Open 2023 [Men] - Grand Slam

[MargaretMcAleer]

3 first serves from Ruud on 3 massive points

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Ruud has a decent serve and return. He needs to add someone on his team that helps him become a bit more aggressive as a player. He comes and goes in waves in every match he plays.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Good hold Ruud, that was a tough service game to hold and consolidate
Match not over by a long shot yet

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

See what a difference getting your 1st serve in, Rune

The kid stays in touch, 4-2

Casper showing he has expert smashing skills. No Djokosmashes here, thank you very much

I wanted to throttle Coco for letting Iga off the hook with those second serves. At least, Casper isn’t making that mistake.

What a point from Ruud turning defense into offense

Something Coco needs to work on Sunday

Rudd is just outplaying my dawg today

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Rock solid volley from Ruud and leads 5-2

 

[Kieran]

Good for Ruud if he can steer this home. Rune still has a lot to learn. He’d made unnecessary heavy weather of his last match, and he’s paying for it now. That’s all his fault. Ruud is taking care of his business..

Rudd is just outplaying my dawg today

Debbie Downer agrees with you

Rudd is just outplaying my dawg today

Yep, he got off the mat for one set, but is spiraling back down again. 5-2

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Rune should have put away that volley at the net, gift to Ruud

 

[kskate2]

DF = MP

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

A stat that has let down Rune in this match is his DF and not getting his first serve in
