Spoiler:
The Swiss air brings out the best in Casper Ruud.
The top seed engineered a mid-match turnaround at the EFG Swiss Open Gstaad on Sunday to complete a 4-6, 7-6(4), 6-2 victory in a heavy-hitting championship match against Matteo Berrettini.
Second seed Berrettini appeared in control in the final at the clay-court ATP 250 event after clinching the opening set and carving out the only three break points of the second. Yet Ruud dug deep to clinch the second-set tie-break and his high-powered forehand dominated the final set as he secured his ninth ATP Tour title, and his eighth on clay, with a two-hour, 34-minute win.
Ruud’s successful title defence at the ATP 250 event in Switzerland improved his record at tour-level in Switzerland to 16-0. As well as his two titles in Gstaad, the 23-year-old has also lifted the trophy at the past two editions of the Gonet Geneva Open.
