Game, sentence and trouble!
Casper Ruud (22) does not like to be provoked. When a fan applauded after a double fault by the Norwegian at the Masters in Indian Wells, he made short work of the man and called to the man: “Are you here to provoke?” The chair referee of course noticed and asked the number ten in the world after the incident.
Ruud: “He’s only here to provoke. I make a double mistake and he claps. So I asked if he could go. “
The man in the white shirt and sun hat was thrown out a little later. And Ruud was finally able to concentrate on his game again and beat South African Lloyd Harris (24) 6: 7 (4: 7), 6: 4 and 6: 4.
In the second round, the Norwegian will now face Diego Schwartzman (29 / Argentina). And then it says “Quiet please” again, otherwise Ruud will take action again.
