PARIS :Eighth seed Casper Ruud reached his maiden Grand Slam quarter-final when he downed Hubert Hurkacz 6-2 6-3 3-6 6-3 at the French Open on Monday.
"Hubert has improved a lot on clay, he has become a dangerous player on all surfaces; he has a dangerous serve but I did well at returning it today." A fine backhand winner down the line gave Ruud the break and a 2-0 lead in the second set, which was another easy affair for the Norwegian as Hurkacz still had to find his range on serve.
He stole Ruud's serve right away to take command of the fourth set, only for the Norwegian to fight back for 2-2 with a crosscourt passing shot winner.The Pole saved a match point at 5-2 but bowed out on the second when Ruud fired a crosscourt forehand winner.
