In the clay court final, he defeated his doubles partner, Serbian Miomir Kecmanović, 6:2, 7:6. “This tournament was incredible. Every time I started, the stadium was full,” he was pleased.
“Winning the trophy is very special for me. It’s been a few months since I managed to do it,” continued the 24-year-old Norwegian, who entered the tournament with a poor season record of 5:6.

“I’ve heard rumors that the winner will get the car, is that true? (laughs) I heard that but I’m not sure. It gave me motivation to be good this week. »

In Estoril, during his victory speech after a classic thank you to everyone from the organizers to the ball collectors, he also praised the quality of the Porsche car on display nearby.
“Porsche are beautiful cars. I heard something about the winner of the tournament getting the car. I don’t know if this is true or not? It was already said at the beginning of the week and it was a big motivation for me to win the tournament,” laughed Ruud, who obviously knew that he would not be taking this luxury car home. Unlike, for example, the winners of the WTA tournament in Stuttgart.
He made most of the fans in the stadium laugh with his joke.
In any case, the young Norwegian managed to earn over 13.5 million dollars in prize money alone, i.e. approximately 300 million CZK, so he certainly does not have to worry about a quality car for his garage.
The best should be yet to come for him this year, the hot clay part of the season, which is his favorite, is still waiting for its peaks.
