Casper Ruud started the tennis year 2023 rather slowly, at the Australian Open he lost early to Jenson Brooksby. With Diego Schwartzman, the Norwegian caught an opponent after a bye in Indian Wells, who is also not doing well at the moment. In any case, Ruud certainly won 6:2 and 6:3 and is now playing against Cristian Garin. The Chilean fought his way through the qualification and won 6:4 and 6:0 against Yoshihito Nishioka on Friday.

Emil Ruusuvuori caused a small surprise, beating Roberto Bautista Agut 7:6 (5) and 6:2. Ruusuvuori is now the potential next opponent for Alexander Zverev. But the German still has to play against Pedro Cachin from Argentina.

Cameron Norrie, the 2021 champion in Indian Wells, also got off to a good start. Norrie certainly won against Tun-Lin Wu 6:4 and 6:2.
