Not far wrong, another French Open masterclass from the goat.
6-3, 6-3, 6-0.
You won’t see many slam finals as one sided as that. That last set in particular was a bit awkward to watch, Ruud hardly got a point.
That’s his 14th French open and his 22nd grand slam, puts him two clear of Novak and Roger at the top of the all time list.

 

He's actually beat Djokovic, Federer and Wawrinka holding them to seven games or less in Roland Garros finals.  So Casper Ruud can add himself to that list.  Even the clay great David Ferrer could only get eight games.  He has also managed to bagel Djokovic and Federer in French Open finals too.  He is just phenomenal on clay.

We could see him take a hiatus now as he needs a corrective measure for his foot.  Rumours are that he was going to skip the rest of the season, but by all accounts he will go to Wimbledon.  He just needs one to tie Serena for most Open Era slams.  He moved on to the same number as Steffi Graf.  The younger guys just don't have the experience that comes with 100 matches against the fellow GOATs.

I expect he will take the three weeks off and be back for Wimbers.
With the Aus and French in his back pocket he’s half way to the grand slam after all, something he’s never managed.

Andy loses the Surbiton semi to world number 84 Denis Kudla in three sets.
Back at the French the ladies title goes to Swiatek who swatted aside Gauff in straight set.

That's pretty dismal performance tbh. 

Murray should accept that he's done at the top level and retire from singles.

He could do well in the doubles with the right parters.

He’s already said that he’s happy just to play tennis on the tour.
 

You’ll be delighted when Andy turns up at Stuttgart and gets put out in his third match.  Due to play Chris O’Connell who he took three sets to beat in Dubai.

Apart from a disastrous first service game today, he played pretty well today.  He plays Bublik on Thursday and if he gets through that will likely have Tsitsipas waiting.

Have you found anywhere to watch Stuttgart? Couldn't find it on Amazon today.

As your man above said the only legitimate place to watch Stuttgart in the UK is Tennis TV.  Should be an interesting match tomorrow, Murray will be well up for it after the US Open match last year.  If he gets through likely to face Kyrgios on Saturday.

Good to see Andy Murray win in straight sets against the the No 1 Seed.  All the seeds will be wanting to dodge Andy Murray at Wimbledon.

Terrific win that. Perhaps even more importantly, he's won 3 matches in a row. Grass maybe takes less out of him, but putting a run of results together seemed to be eluding him. 

Hope he can go further and perhaps even win the tournament, though Kyrgios and Berretini (assuming they get through) would be pretty difficult on grass. His ranking must be getting a good boost too.
