penistonnumber 180 in the world, won two tiebreaks against a Ruud to return to competition on Tuesday after losing in the final of Roland Garros against Rafael Nadal just over a week ago.
The British came to be more suited to the surface after the game two Challengers on the grass before the Queen’s and, despite participating as a guest for the organization, he was good against a Ruud who was not accustomed to grass.
