Ruud klar for finale etter to timer lang pause

På grusen i Roma spilte Casper Ruud seg overlegent til finale mot hjemmehåpet Luciano Darderi.
– Det føles bra, innleder Ruud i et intervju vist på TV 2.
Det skjedde etter en nesten to timer lang pause etter at et voldsomt regnvær traff den italienske hovedstaden.
Etter pausen forsøkte det italienske stortalentet å legge press på Ruud. Uten at han lyktes.
– Han kommer veldig til kort her. Han finner ikke banen, sa TV 2-kommentator Christer Francke om Darderi.
For Darderi på 20 år lå under omtrent fra første serve mot Snarøya-mannen.
– Casper virker adskillig lettere, kommenterte Francke.
Med sifrene 6-1, 6-1 tok Ruud seg ganske så enkelt videre til finalen i ATP 1000-turneringen.
I finalen på selveste 17. mai møter han enten Jannik Sinner eller Daniil Medvedev.
– Begge er fantastiske atleter. Det blir ingen lett oppgave, uansett hvem jeg møter. Jeg er bare glad og stolt over å være i finalen her for første gang, sier Ruud.
Ruud har én gang tidligere vunnet en ATP-1000-turnering – i Madrid i fjor. I tillegg har han to finaletap i Grand Slam. liveiplscore.homes
