No withdrawal for Ruud, who has arrived at Metz

The world No. 7, who had not announced his participation since the start of the week, arrived in Metz this afternoon.

After the barrage of withdrawals that decimated the Moselle Open, Casper Ruud has just saved the organizers from a tricky situation. The Norwegian, who was in Oslo last night, has kept his commitment and will play his 2nd round match against Benjamin Bonzi this evening.

The video of his arrival from Metz airport has been shared on the tournament's social networks.

Of course, it remains to be seen what his attitude will be on the court and whether he really intends to go as far as he can in this tournament. As a reminder, Andrey Rublev had won his match yesterday before citing an abdominal injury to withdraw from the event.
