PARIS : Last year's runner-up Casper Ruud fought his way into the quarter-finals of the French Open as he ended the resilience of Chile's Nicolas Jarry in a lengthy 7-5 7-5 7-5 victory on Monday.
Ruud next faces either Dane Holger Rune in a re-match of last year's quarter-final, or Argentina's Francisco Cerundolo. "I have to thank my team for pushing me in practice. I did the work and physically I was ready for more."Possibly lulled into a false sense of safety, Ruud fell a 4-1 behind in the second set but he rallied back and won six of the remaining seven games to edge closer to victory.
