Here is the match to read in the live ticker.
The rematch of the French Open 2022 started under clear signs: Casper Ruud was already qualified for the semifinals, Rafael Nadal knew that this would be his last appearance at the ATP Finals this year. Nevertheless, Nadal accepted the challenge fully, who knows: maybe we'll see each other again in Australia, because we don't want to put any nonsense in the head of an opponent we dominated at Roland Garros a few months ago.
The first set wasn't top-notch, but it was very focused until the twelfth game. Then Nadal got the first break of the match and at the same time the first act. And the second set was exactly the same. Nadal finally used his second match ball to make it 7: 5 and 7: 5.
