Casper Ruud didn't let up in the second round of Tokyo against Matteo Berrettini.
After facing local player Mochizuki in his opening match (4-6, 6-1, 6-1), Ruud took on Italian Berrettini in the following round. Troubled in the first set, the Norwegian maintained his composure afterward to win with a score of 7-6, 6-2.
Known for his movement quality, the three-time Grand Slam finalist didn't have an easy match against the 2021 Wimbledon finalist. Indeed, he had to work hard during this 13-shot rally, covering the entire court to retrieve his opponent's shots.
