Casper Ruud first Norwegian man to make French Open quarters
Casper Ruud became the first Norwegian man to reach the French Open quarter-finals on Monday with a four-set win against Poland's Hubert Hurkacz. The 23-year-old held off a brief Hurkacz fightback to win 6-2, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 and will face either fellow Scandinavian youngster Holger Rune of Denmark or fourth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas on Wednesday. Ruud is into his first ever Grand Slam quarter-final as he continues an impressive season which has seen him win two clay-court titles.
