US EditionFrench Open 2025: Casper Ruud Is Bothered by a Painful Knee and Loses to Nuno Borges
- Seventh-Seeded Casper Ruud, a two-time finalist at the French Open, was defeated by 41st-ranked Nuno Borges in the tournament’s second round on Wednesday, with a score of 2-6, 6-4, 6-1, 6-0.
- Ruud had been playing through off-and-on pain caused by a bad left knee that began during the clay-court season's first event in Monte Carlo in April.
- He said the knee started bothering him in the first set, and the open-stance backhand, involving sliding on his left foot, was the most painful shot he tried to avoid.
- Ruud explained, "It wasn't enough to make the pain go away," adding, "You do everything you can to get to every ball" and, "I wish I could stay here longer."
- This is Ruud’s earliest departure from the French Open since his debut in 2018, while Borges made history as the first Portuguese male player to advance to the tournament’s third round.
