Ruud struck out with his arms towards the referee in the first set when the referee conceded a ball from Thiem.
Ruud pointed to a mark that showed the ball was out, but the referee thought it was the wrong mark and pointed to a mark right next to it, which was on the line.
Thus, Ruud missed a breakball in a very even first set, which was eventually won by Thiem.
– Too
But replays of the Hawk Eye system shown on Eurosport showed the ball was out.
– It is a pity. Because it was an important ball, it is difficult to know if he had something to say for the game. Unfortunately, that is the case. We have talked about it in this tournament, the judges are not good enough to judge. Perhaps the hawk eye would have been so easy to consider, his father Christian Ruud sighed to Eurosport.
Ruud had several break balls in the first set, but took advantage of several opportunities and only managed one break, which did not last.
– There were several occasions in the first set, but Thiem played very well throughout the match and was in the impossible corner for the rest of the match, sums up dad Christian Ruud to Eurosport.
After an even first set, Thiem had good control of the rest of the match, despite Ruud offering this C: moment.
Roser Ruud
In the third set, the dominance of the Austrian, referred to as the prince of gravel, continued and is expected to take the throne from Rafael Nadal. Ruud’s 34-year-old teacher who has dominated gravel tennis for several years.
Thiem swept the numbers 6-1 in the final set, eventually claiming a well-deserved and long-awaited third-round victory at Roland Garros.
– Casper is a very good and attractive player. I didn’t make any mistakes in this match, I think it was a good match for both of us, Thiem summed up after the match.
– He has a lot of self-confidence and good attitude, and he fought to the end. He was focused on not letting him get into the fight again, he explained later.
One thing Ruud can feel comfortable with is the 1.4 million cash prize.
