Ruud finally defeats Nadal on Latin American tour

Casper Ruud ended the winning streak of Rafael Nadal against him by beating him in Ecuador in straight sets.

The Norwegian player lost four matches in a row against Nadal starting with the Roland Garros defeat earlier this year. Nadal made it two in a row at the ATP Finals recently winning in two sets and then they played some more.

These matches were exhibition matches so it's questionable how hard they really went but both are competitors and both certainly did not tank either. Nadal won in Argentina and then Brazil with Ruud coming back to win in Quito.
