Casper Ruud-smell i Basel – tapte for langt svakere rangert portugiser
Casper Ruud åpnet knallsterkt mot Nuno Borges i 2.-rundekampen i Basel, men portugiseren snudde oppgjøret og vant.
Dermed ble det tidlig stopp for nordmannen i ATP500-turneringen i Sveits. Sifrene ble 1-6, 6-3, 6-4 i favør Borges.
Ruud ble brutt til 3-4 etter to dobbeltfeil.
– Jeg vet ikke om Casper kjenner at han må gå for ting helt på slutten her, om han føler at det går for fort eller at han er sliten, kommenterte TV 2s Christer Francke.
Borges er nummer 53 på den siste ATP-rankingen. Ruud innehar 25.-plassen. (NTB)
