A Ruudat this time Casperhe won again in a Korda, SebastianIn Third Masters 1,000 from Madrid Like, as happened 29 years ago, Christian then won Petry at the Miami Tournament.
That was 1999 was the only occasion when the parents of the Norwegian Casper Ruud and the American Sebastian Korda face each other in the professional circuit.
European is a more careful tennis player. Without any title on the ATP tour his roof was to reach the 39th ranking position.
Not much to do with Czech Petry, Sebastian’s father, who became second in the world and achieved a title of Grand Slam, the 1998 Australian Open.
In addition, he had previously reached a final ‘major’, in Roland Garros, in 1992.
Nearly three decades later Your children match the first time in the circuit. In the land of the magic box, the third twist, to the eighth. It was Casper who won. The clay specialist, exceeded American 6-3 and 6-2, at 72 minutes and survived the event.
Casper, 26, exceeded his father’s journey. It was now fifteen but it became the number of two, in 2022.
And he played three grand slam finals, something Christian didn’t get. Two in Roland Garros and one in the United States. Carlos Alcaraz and a Rafael Nadal were separated twice from a major glory.
Sebastian, however, did not approach his parent’s level. This is the twenty -Four of the ATP. His roof, the fifteen placed. And travel with only two titles in his backpack. Parma’s in 2021 and Washington last year. And seven lost finals. None of the excess shimmer.
On the Manolo Santana track there is no debate and Ruud exceeds his rival to the authority. The Scandinavian did not go through his best moment, which lost points in Montecarlo and Barcelona, where he won last week, and appeared for the first time in the last ‘top-10’ years.
Ruud, who was a semifinalist in Madrid in 2021 was around 16th, where he arrived last year. He has not won a title since 2024, when he succeeded in Geneva and Barcelona. Now it refuses. So far this season has failed in the rooms in any 1,000 masters.
Korda, on the other hand, stimulates his evil stripes on the ground. He added his seventh defeat to follow before the top 20 clay players. He was not on some eighth on earth from Montecarlo 2022. Last year he fell on the third round, in the same section, before Russian Daniil Medvedev.
Ruud, Casper, will play with Taylor Fritz to defeat French Benjamin Bonzi 4-6, 7-5 and depart from Gallic for back injury.
