Ruud Eyes Strong Clay Finish In Sardinia; All You Need To Know

  • Posted: Oct 10, 2020

Casper Ruud looks to finish his 2020 clay campaign on a high note at the Forte Village Sardegna Open, an ATP 250 tournament in Sardinia, Italy. The 21-year-old Norwegian leads the ATP Tour with a 17-5 mark on clay this season, highlighted by his first title in February at the Argentina Open in Buenos Aires (d. Pedro Sousa).

Ruud, who was also a runner-up in Santiago during the Golden Swing, continued his clay success upon the ATP Tour’s return from suspension. He reached the semi-finals last month at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia in Rome and the Hamburg European Open, respectively losing to eventual champions Novak Djokovic and Andrey Rublev.

In addition to Ruud, the Sardinia field includes Dusan Lajovic, Albert Ramos-Vinolas, Lorenzo Sonego, Pablo Andujar, Tommy Paul, Pablo Cuevas and Frances Tiafoe.
