Happy for Ruud to be seemingly back to form, 2023 has been rocky for him thus far. Good time to be catching momentum just before the French Open.

Wow that's a back to back win for Rune against Nole. Fearless playstyle.

Finally Casper looks like he's finding his form, just in time for RG where he defends finalist points.
This French open could potentially be the most wide open FO since 2004. Nadal is holding a press conference tomorrow to announce his RG intentions, many Spanish news outlets have already reported that he has withdrawn. Novak hasnt been at his best this clay season but he has this uncanny ability to find his best at grand slams. If someone manages to upset him early (I dont think that will happen, but if it does), then Casper might be one of the favourites alongside Alcaraz/Rune etc.

And wow Rune beats Djokovic twice in a row! That is so tough to do. Novak always learns from losses and knows what to do vs a player in their next meeting but Rune was the better player today! No injuries, Djokovic simply got outplayed. Higher unforced error rate largely due to the pressure Rune put on Novak and the high level he brought and sustained throughout the match. Just like Bercy, didnt blink when facing BP when serving for the match.

Great match between Djokovic and Rune -- Congrats to Rune, excellent tennis but also great job keeping his composure

[johnsuttoniiijs]

Casper alomost out of nowhere looking like a serious contender again for RG. With Rafa surely going out early and Novak looking vulnerable you have to like this young man's chances to get back to the final.

A great champion Novak always gracious in defeat, Rune coming into his own. And Casper the friendly tennis player surprising me and resurgent for possibly another great French Open. He really is a clay court battler.

[VeqasSC]

I feel you could see the fatigue for Cerundolo after giving everything vs Jannik

[usaneebeilles]

Congrats to All the Sami-finalists. All’s well deserved.

Thank you Tennis TV for posting.
Always enjoy the clay-courts tournaments.

Happy for ruud, hope he makes it this time.

I initially bought into the negative reception Holger was getting didn't help) but I'm really digging his game and look forward to him being a threat on the tour for a long time!

By what I've seen this week, every time a chair umpire has come down to check a ball has said it was in and then the hawk eye has told otherwise. Something to think about

[MarSer]

Djokovic met Next gen Djokovic.
Rune even misses smashes

[fang.clarkec]

I can’t remember last time someone this good against Djokovic. Amazing

[miaash]

It would be great to have a Scandinavian final in Rome this year!

[kurtwild]

Let's all take a moment to remember about how good and complete player Casper is.... Cmon Ruud! ❤big support out Bella Italia and Roma
I'm with you

[felixwatkins]

Rune has the champion's mentality

[dummythiccems]

Looks like Ruud has been saving his energy all year for these two tournaments

[mikeatkins]

There was a seemingly bit of playfulness and defiance in Runes facial expressions after winning points in that third set. I think he enjoyed taking it to djokovic haha. He was relishing the level of his game
