About the match
Ruud battled fiercely against arguably the greatest tennis player in the sport’s lengthy history and put everything he had into the Serb.
The Norwegian had a three-game lead in the opening set when Djokovic won his first game of the championship match on Court Phillipe Chatrier, but the Serb showed his grit by battling back to win the set on a tiebreaker.
Following his successful break of the Norwegian, Serbia’s top player easily won the second set, 6-3, with no trouble.
Up to the 10th game of the third set, which ended in a 5-5 tie, the match was evenly matched. The Serb proved himself up to the task when he broke Ruud’s serve in the eleventh game to make the score 6-5 in his favor. He then sealed the deal with his service to make the score 7-5 in the third set and win the desired championship.
Ruud consecutive second-year tournament finals
Ruud wanted to win his first major championship, but it turned out that he would have to wait a little longer.
Ruud lost to Djokovic in the tournament’s finals at Roland Garros for the second consecutive year, just as he did against Nadal in the event’s previous season.
That shouldn’t detract from the young man’s brave effort, however, since he has the potential to achieve great things in the future.
