French Open 2023: In the men’s singles semi-final of the French Open 2023, 24-year-old Casper Ruud showcased his superiority by defeating former World No. 2 Alexander Zverev. Ruud’s remarkable performance resulted in a straight-set victory of 6-3, 6-4, 6-0, achieved in a swift 2 hours and 3 minutes. This impressive win secured Ruud a spot in the Roland Garros final for the second consecutive year.
Casper Ruud’s sensational performance
On Sunday, Casper Ruud will go head-to-head against Novak Djokovic in the highly anticipated final of the French Open 2023. In an intense and dramatic semi-final match, the Serb managed to overcome World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz in four sets. The 20-year-old Spaniard, unfortunately, experienced a loss of momentum in the 3rd and 4th sets due to severe cramps.
Despite reaching the final last year, Ruud remained relatively unnoticed until now. However, right from the beginning of the match against Zverev, he displayed a commanding performance while his opponent seemed demoralized on the grand stage. In the final set, Zverev appeared bewildered as Ruud’s forehand winners relentlessly flew down the line and across the court.
In a disappointing display, Ruud managed to break Zverev’s serve six times, while the German only capitalized on one out of the nine opportunities he had. Despite the Paris crowd’s best efforts to uplift Zverev and witness a more prolonged match, their endeavors proved fruitless as the Norwegian remained sharp and ultimately sealed the victory in straight sets.
Another Ruud vs Rafael Nadal Showdown?
In the previous year, Ruud encountered Rafael Nadal in the Roland Garros final but unfortunately ended up on the losing side. This outcome resulted in Nadal extending his record-breaking Grand Slam count to 22 titles. Now, on Sunday, at Chatrier, Ruud will be going up against Djokovic. The Serbian player is determined to surpass all others and become the most accomplished men’s singles player, striving to secure his 23rd Grand Slam title.
