Casper Ruud Becomes Gstaad Champion Again

Casper Ruud becomes Gstaad Champion again after making Matteo Berrettini taste defeat!

Casper Ruud becomes Gstaad Champion again: On Sunday, the 24th of July in 2022, Casper Ruud won the ninth ATP trophy of his career. Almost half of these victories have now taken place in Switzerland. In a match between the top two seeds, the world’s No. 5 player beat the 2018 champion, Matteo Berrettini, in two hours and 34 minutes by scores of 4-6, 7-6 (4), and 6-2. The Italian had won 12 straight matches before Ruud beat him. As a result, Ruud is now 16-0 in Switzerland (all clay wins).

“The Swiss crowd helps me a lot. Everything about Switzerland reminds me a little bit about Norway. Except that you pay less taxes here,” the top seed said during his on-court interview.

In the fifth game, Berrettini moved first when Ruud hit his forehand wide on a serve +1. After saving three break points to keep his lead, the No. 2 seed’s serve looked like he couldn’t break it because he won 32 of his next 36 points at the line.
