Peace rematch? another time! Casper Roode defeats Holger Rohn and advances to the semifinals against Zverev

register

The beginning of the game is very strong, the rune gets 2 break points immediately. The Dane is fresh from the recent previous win in Rome, so he wants to steer the match in the right direction. However, Ruud did not reach the quarterfinals to be an extra, confidently canceling break points. In the next game, the prodigy’s first real test under Mouratoglou’s wing, the group takes their set direction. Ron double-faults and fires two straight shots in the fairway: It’s a break, Rod! From now on, everything goes downhill for the Norwegian: Ron beats 25 errors in total and Ruud takes the first set in 27 minutes: 6-1.

Still stunned by the performance of the first set, Ron starts the second set in the worst way: he loses his serve and triggers another escape from Rod. The Norwegian serves very well, is focused, makes the difference with his forehand and is rock solid in defence. Ron tries to shake himself off, trying to make sense of his presence on the field, but another tombstone appears in the fifth inning: the second break. At this point, at 5-2, Ruud is back on duty and connected positively at the third set point, going up 2-0 in one hour and six minutes.

At the beginning of the third set, the unexpected happens: Rod becomes more solid than ever, while Ron breaks free, forgetting in the blink of an eye the many mistakes of the first hour. The Norwegian knows he can shut down, but the Dane is rising from his ashes, rediscovering depth and security. Breaking the second half is nothing more than the logical outcome of events: the class of 2003 puts down the arrow and never looks back, underlining every round of service and concluding with a score of 6-3 in 41 minutes.

In the fourth set, all the games fought are the domain of the Norwegian who, on the woolly edge, is more visible. This explains the break in the fourth game and the cancellation of the two counter-balls in the fifth game. Ron hangs on to the tackle, saving two match balls in turn to serve, but then must make way in the ninth inning in two hours and 44 minutes of play.
