Norwegian player Casper Ruud has won his 10th ATP Tour title by defeating Miomir Kecmanovic at the Estoril Open in Portugal. The victory marks Ruud's first trophy of the season and his first since winning the 2022 Gstaad Open last July. Ad Ruud won the championship in straight sets, 6-2 7-6(3), breaking Kecmanovic's serve twice in the first set to take full control of the match.
Dan Evans’ hopes of a second career ATP title were dashed when he was knocked out of the Grand Prix Hassan II at the semi-final stage. Spaniard Roberto Carballes Baena advanced to his second tour-level final after he beat the Briton 2-6 6-4 6-2, and will face Alexandre Muller in the tournament decider on Sunday. Ad Evans — who was seeded second only behind Lorenzo Musetti, who was eliminated in Friday’s quarter-finals — looked to be on his way to a fourth ATP final when he won the first set.
Polish ski jumper Dawid Kubacki gave an update on the health condition of his wife, Marta. She was admitted to the hospital two weeks ago due to a life-threatening cardiac issue. In an interview with the television channel TVN, Kubacki explained.
Casper Ruud — speaking on the latest episode of the Eurosport podcast, Ruud Talk — has said he believes world No. 4 Daniil Medvedev can overcome his difficulties on clay ahead of the clay-court swing and the French Open. Medvedev has historically struggled on clay and has only reached one final on the red dirt in 2019, finishing runner-up at the Barcelona Open.
Frenchman Alexandre Muller upset top seed Lorenzo Musetti of Italy 6-3, 1-6, 6-4 in the quarterfinals of the Grand Prix Hassan II on Friday in Marrakech, Morocco.
Dan Evans prevailed through to the Grand Prix Hassan II semi-finals with a 6-3 7-5 win over Andrea Vavassori. The 32-year-old headed into the match after a stunning 6-1 6-3 second-round win over Alexei Popyrin, to set him up nicely heading into this quarter-final clash. Ad Evans has historically endured a tough time on clay and arguably his last notable achievement on the surface came at the Monte Carlo Masters in 2021, when he sensationally dumped out Novak Djokovic in the round of 16 and David Goffin in the quarter-finals.
Casper Ruud has explained why he thinks Rafael Nadal is so difficult to beat on clay on the Eurosport podcast, Ruud Talk. Nadal is widely regarded as the greatest clay-court player ever, with an unprecedented 14 French Open titles, 11 Monte Carlo titles, 10 triumphs in Rome and is a five-time champion at the Madrid Open.
Spanish big guns Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz have both dropped out of the upcoming Monte Carlo Masters due to injury concerns.
