Like last year, Casper Ruud reached the final of the French Open in Paris. The number 4 in the world from Norway surprisingly wins in the semifinals against the German Alexander Zverev (ATP 27) 6: 3, 6: 4, 6: 0.
Alexander Zverev misses the final at the French Open and has to wait for his first title in a Grand Slam tournament. The tennis Olympic champion has no chance against the Norwegian Casper Ruud in the semifinals on Friday.
After the serious ankle injury last year, Zverev also loses his third semi-final in a row at the classic clay court in Paris. In a duel with the fourth in the world rankings, the 26-year-old cannot repeat his previous performances in 2:09 hours. Zverev would have been the first German finalist at the French Open since Michael Stich in 1996.
Ruud now meets Serbian Novak Djokovic in Sunday’s final, who defeated spasm-ridden Carlos Alcaraz from Spain in four sets. In last year’s final, Ruud lost to Spaniard Rafael Nadal, who is injured this year.
