Casper Ruud passes the roller to meet Rafa Jódar in Paris

Rafa Jódar went through the first round of the Paris Masters 1000 against Tabilo without many problems in two sets. It was a great way to get into a rhythm. However, in the round of 16 match it will not be so easy on paper because their rival is also coming off a perfect start in the French capital. Casper Ruud had no mercy for Juan Manuel Cerundolo and in just one hour of the match he sealed his pass to the next round.

The Norwegian came from four consecutive disappointments in the Paris tournament and regained his sensations with a great match that ended in two sets (6-3, 6-2). With 27 winners and without giving up serve once in the entire match, Ruud imposed his law without many problems.

Now they will face each other this Tuesday against Rafa Jódar, with whom they have only faced each other once. It was a match that the Spaniard won despite starting the duel losing. It was in the quarterfinals of the Shanghai Masters 1000 by 4-6,6-4, 6-3. The two had a placid start in Paris and it will be time to see which of the two gets that pass to the round of 16.
