Casper Ruud eclipses Jannik Sinner as top ATP player this season technically after Barcelona Open win
ATPThursday, 18 April 2024 at 22:30
Norway’s Casper Ruud achieved an impressive milestone with his latest win in the ongoing Barcelona Open. The 25-year-old is going through an impressive season and he continued his great run in the ongoing ATP 500 event in Barcelona where he defeated Australia’s Jordan Thompson in straight sets with a score of 6-1, 6-4.
While doing so, he has now registered the most wins in the ATP Tour this season with 26 triumphs to his name. He overtook Italy’s Jannik Sinner who was leading the race with 25 victories. However, interestingly, despite all those wins, Ruud has not been able to win a title this season. His previous outing before the Barcelona Open was in Monte-Carlo Masters where he lost to Greece’s Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets with a score of 6-1, 6-4.
It was his third defeat in the final of an ATP event this season. Previously, he lost in the final of the event in Los Cabos to Australia’s Thompson in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 7-6. After that, he lost in the final of the Mexican Open to Australia’s Alex de Minaur in straight sets with a score of 6-4, 6-4. Ruud will now face Matteo Arnaldi in the quarterfinal of the Barcelona Open. The Italian tennis star defeated Argentina’s Marco Trungelliti in the last-16 clash in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 6-0.
