Dagbladet follows the game here.
Casper Ruud (21) faces the biggest test of his career, as world number one Novak Djokovic (33) finds himself in the opposite half of the field. Djokovic is the big favorite before the match, but Casper Ruud has played brilliantly during the Master 1000 tournament in Rome. A very exciting match ahead.
– I thought it was difficult to predict the match. Djokovic is a clear favorite. Taking into account yesterday’s game against Djokovic, I am optimistic. Chances are, Ruud isn’t overdoing it, but is playing to his strengths, Eurosport commentator Ola Bentzen told Dagbladet before the game.
