Ruud Makes Successful Debut in Madrid Against Rinderknech
Ruud secured a straight-sets victory (6-3, 6-4) over Rinderknech in his opening match in Madrid. After 1 hour and 13 minutes of play, the Norwegian triumphed over the Frenchman and advanced to the tournament's third round.
During the match, the player who recently dropped to 15th in the world rankings only had to save one break point. He also won 76% of his first-serve points. The two-time Roland-Garros finalist hopes to regain his best form after a disappointing exit in Barcelona, where he was the defending champion.
Meanwhile, Rinderknech had won his first-round match against Safiullin. Still, he performed better than last year when he lost in the opening round.
To reach the round of 16, Ruud will need to defeat the winner between Korda and Cina.
