Clay master Ruud wins seventh career title with Argentina triumph
Clay master Ruud wins seventh career title with Argentina triumph
Norway's Casper Ruud won his seventh career title and sixth on clay with a 5-7, 6-2, 6-3 victory over Diego Schwartzman in Sunday's Argentina Open final.
Top seed Ruud was the champion in the Argentine capital in 2020 while second-seeded Schwartzman succeeded him last year.
Ruud's record at the event now stands at 9-0.
The 23-year-old's two clay titles in Argentina add to those in Kitzbuhel, Gstaad, Bastad and Geneva in 2021.
He won his only hardcourt event at San Diego, also last year.
