Casper Ruud's Roland Garros campaign comes to shocking end against Nuno Borges

Casper Ruud's French Open campaign has shockingly come to an end against Nuno Borges as he was severely hampered with injury losing to the Portuguese ace 2-6, 6-4, 6-1, 6-0.

The two-time finalist came to Paris after winning the Madrid Open and won his first match in straight sets against Albert Ramos Vinolas. But Borges rallied from a set down.

Ruud took a medical timeout before losing a 6-0 fourth set. He reached the semi-finals of last year's tournament so will drop in the rankings as a result. He lost last year due to food poisoning and this year was hampered by injury.

While elsewhere Quentin Halys, Mariano Navone among others are through. Borges reward is a tie against Alexei Popyrin. He earlier saw off Alejandro Tabilo 7-5, 6-3, 6-4.

“I was fighting a lot, especially that first set, I felt like I was completely drilled,” said Borges. “He really played a huge intensity, and I wasn’t handling the situation the best. It was too much for me. Then I just kept on trying and noticed he started to slow down a little bit, and obviously he wasn’t 100 per cent today or I’m sure the result would not have been the same.

“I’m still proud of how I battled from the beginning until the end and gave myself a shot, and today I got lucky.”
