"Seven" success? Ruud has the best chance to win the tournament for the first time!

After several days of battle, the finalists of the Madrid Masters were determined, namely Sabalenka and Gauff for the women, and Draper and Ruud for the men. In the end, Sabalenka defeated Gauff in the final to win the tournament again. On the men's side, there will be a new champion after last year, and if Ruud can win, he will be the new master.

Ruud has reached the final of a major tournament six times before, but has lost all of them, and of the 12 titles so far in his career, only one ATP 500 Barcelona has been won last season, and the other 11 have been ATP 250 titles.

Let's take a look at Ruud's previous tournament finals:

Lost to Alcaraz in the 2022 Miami final

As early as three years ago, Ruud had reached the final of the Masters, but in this rookie contest where both sides reached the final of the Masters for the first time, Ruud finally lost to Acre, who expected that this would start the embarrassing history of his championship without a championship.

Lost to Alcaraz in the final of the 2022 US Open

Lost to Novak Djokovic in the final of the 2022 Finals

That year, Ruud reached the finals of his first clay Grand Slam, hard court Grand Slam and year-end finals, but all of them lost. In addition to paying tuition fees for losing to the two giants of Germany and Na, it is even more regrettable that in the US Open match, he once again lost to the chosen son Acre, and continued to have bitter memories.

Lost to Tsitsipas in the final of Monte Carlo 2024

Ruud has made a series of breakthroughs over the past two seasons, reaching the final of the French Open for the second year in a row, and reaching his first clay Masters final in Monte Carlo, where he was once again runner-up to former champions.

In addition to being the backdrop to Acre's first Grand Slam and Masters titles, Ruud was also the Best Supporting Actor for Nadal's last Grand Slam title.

The lower limit is not low, and the upper limit is not high. This is probably the evaluation of Ruud by many football critics, and it has also been criticized by many fans. For many years, he was only able to win the 250 races. Last year, he finally pierced the window paper and beat Tsitsipas in Barcelona to avenge his previous Monte Carlo Masters final defeat and finally win a non-250 tournament for himself.

Now, having fallen out of the top ten in the world, he once again has a chance to change his life. He has returned to the top 10 in the world before the final, can he realize the dream of a Masters championship in the final in Madrid this time? Let's wait and see!(Source: Tennis Home Author: Luo Cheng Qiye)
