Norwegian tennis player Casper Ruud advanced to the quarterfinals of the French Open today, Monday, after ending the resistance of Chilean Nicolas Jarry with a victory of 7-5, 7-5, 7-5. Ruud stated: "If we had played five sets, I don't know how long we would have played. I thank my support team who pushed me hard in training; I was very ready physically."
Despite a very tight match lasting 3 hours and 20 minutes in 3 sets, the world number 4 Ruud put an end to Jarry's 7 consecutive victories. He reaches this stage in a Grand Slam for the third time in his career, having been a finalist twice.
