an intractable Casper Ruud becomes strong before the more than 5,000 people who came to the Buenos Aires Lawn Tennis and encourage Diego Schwartzman to defeat local credit by 5-7, 6-2 and 6-3. It is his second title in Buenos Aires for the Norwegian.
The day had started excellently for Schwartzman. An extremely even first set, where there were break points and very close games. had to get to the eleventh so that Peque can take advantage of a lack of concentration by the 2019 champion and win the first set 7-5.
But the world number 8 began to take the match for himself. Hits on the lines and began to limit his unforced errors, to submit Schwartzman and break his serve twice to force the third and decisive in a partial that ended in 6-2 for the Norwegian.
And in the decisive Ruud quickly took the lead. He made it 3-0 after breaking Schwartzman’s serve at 0. There seemed to be a reaction from Peque as he lifted a 0-40 lead in the sixth game, including 4 break points that the Norwegian was unable to take advantage of. But Ruud was ruthless and the damage had already been done.
To the disappointment of the more than 5,000 souls that packed the Buenos Aires Lawn Tennis and to the joy of a handful of compatriots who came to encourage him, Casper Ruud was intractable and established himself for the second time in Buenos Aires by winning 6-3 in the decider, repeating what was in 2019 and for second time ‘taking the mate’, which means taking the title at the Argentina Open.
This is how we live minute by minute between Ruud and Schwartzman.
