Ruud Battles Bonzi; Norrie & Van Assche Clash | Metz 2024 Day 4 Highlights

[@pratheekk__]

Great run of form for Casper Ruud before the ATP finals. Truly legendary.

[@TranucTV]

lol, just 250 tournament. Look at ATP 1000 & 500, he always pulls out very soon

[@DeterminedDucky]

@@TranucTV Bro u ruined this wonderful comment

[@AnshRamani-h5c]

Nice sarcasm!! I love it

[@ferchotix9]

People in the comments seem to forget that Ruud no longer needs these points to enter the ATP finals. It's no surprise that De Miñaur and Rublev retired from their torunaments as soon as Djokovic announced his withdrawal. No need for Ruud to use his energy in an ATP 250 the week before the finals.

[@Stu49583]

It is very disrespectful to the event to retire due to this reason, in my opinion at least.

[@ferchotix9]

@@Stu49583 I agree, I think Ruud was the least disrespectful of them, at least he played the match and lost.

[@JoshProctor-p9b]

Okay, yes but look at his record even before this tournament and he knew he was getting in: Metz - first round loss to rank 124, Paris - first round loss to rank 28, Basel - first round loss to rank 45, Stockholm - second round loss to rank 37, Shanghai - first round loss to rank 91, Tokyo - first round loss to rank 29, Laver cup - only singles match loss to rank 31 (doesn't count as much but still), davis cup - loss to rank 159 in straights, us open - loss to fritz in 4th round (highest player he played before that was 45), cincinatti - first round loss to rank 19 (to auger-alliasime...), canada - withdrew, olympics - 4th round loss to rank 19 (to auger-alliasime...), bastad - first round loss to rank 85, wimbledon - second round loss to rank 94 Look, I like ruud, but this is really bad for a top 6 player. like reallllly bad

[@Mitch-z1t]

Doesn’t matter as he is in decline and won’t go far in the finals

[@Oxamyt3109]

Casper is going to be a passenger in ATP finals

[@NeilusNihilus]

Yep, kinda like David Ferrer was (David being a much better player than Ruud mind, a shame he competed in the big 3 + 2 era otherwise he would win multiple slams against today's gen).

[@saxonchess3293]

​@@NeilusNihilus Ferrer would win slams against the likes of Sinner and Alcaraz? Hell no man

[@rohitbalakrishnan5004]

Did you ever check Ruud's record in ATP finals so far?

[@Bhavyo]

@@rohitbalakrishnan5004 Its good, but 0:3 after round Robin is the most likely outcome this year. Casper wouldnt even win a challenger on hardcourt at the moment.

[@Teddy_Gautier]

There are times I truly believe Ruud doesn’t take tennis seriously anymore. Even though he lost, you can clearly tell that he’s got the skill to make deep run consistently. Bro just doesn’t care it seems.

[@olf9832]

he is just bad

[@360flo]

Because he just got qualified, he doesn't care about Metz open

[@rk12968]

He doesn't want to be in Metz. He could have withdrawn like Rublev, but at least he had the decency to play his match. The season is atrociously long. Players need to find rest where they can. Ruud was clearly not interested in prolonging his stay in Metz. It's okay.

[@EtSlagFisse]

No, he is just an overachiever. Nothing wrong with that.

[@JoshProctor-p9b]

Guys, look at Casper Ruud's record in the past 6 months: Metz - first round loss to rank 124, Paris - first round loss to rank 28, Basel - first round loss to rank 45, Stockholm - second round loss to rank 37, Shanghai - first round loss to rank 91, Tokyo - first round loss to rank 29, Laver cup - only singles match loss to rank 31 (doesn't count as much but still), davis cup - loss to rank 159 in straights, us open - loss to fritz in 4th round (highest player he played before that was 45), cincinatti - first round loss to rank 19 (to auger-alliasime...), canada - withdrew, olympics - 4th round loss to rank 19 (to auger-alliasime...), bastad - first round loss to rank 85, wimbledon - second round loss to rank 94 Look, I like ruud, but this is really bad for a top 6 player. like reallllly bad

[@ajkorras]

So he is so good that he only needs to play for 6 months in order to be top 6

[@lucaantonelli1511]

He’s an overachiever for sure. Don’t know how he made to slam finals

[@brodaism]

I think he got exhausted after an intensive summer french and olympics back to back. He should have taken a break or skipped indoor season completely. But the pressure of making it to WTF made him keep on playing. Lucky that he managed to sneak in but i think he will have less time to charge up his batteries for 2025. Lets not forget that he had a great first half 2024.

[@rohitbalakrishnan5004]

So what? Why are you talking as if top 10 players don't have certain bad phases in a year?

[@JoshProctor-p9b]

@@rohitbalakrishnan5004 it doesnt make him a bad person or anything, im just saying he has to be one of the most inconsistent atp final qualifers in history + he just beat alcaraz so i really dont understand anything at this point...

[@Zelmando]

At this point I begin to think that even I could beat Ruud 💀

[@Anonymous1234-hw1ik]

The TV makes tennis look easy but the reality is most of us would be triple bageled by the 2000th ranked player or even a college player.

[@Zelmando]

Yeah of course I'm just surprised that Ruud gets beaten so often by much lower ranked players these days when he is in the top 10  

[@martin3203]

@@Anonymous1234-hw1ikI agree. And against a top-10 player, most casual players would be lucky to even get a point.

[@strider8816]

Bonzi on fire lately

[@rk12968]

The commentary is hilarious. Ruud was clearly not running after balls or trying to win this match. Yet the video made it sound like Bonzi was overplaying him. Lol.

[@Stu49583]

Is this some kind of cope for Ruud losing?

Good win for Benjamin. 👍

[@bpure2560]

There it is..... There it is..... There it is.

[@orbitalwarrior]

Look, the fact still is that Ruud qualified for the ATP finals, it doesn't matter where and when he gained those points. Despite his record the last weeks on hardcourt, he still made it beyond the round Robin stage in his previous appearances and even reached the final. So it's not that the doesn't know how to win on hardcourt. The other players have just as much opportunity to win the amount of points needed to qualify, and they didn't, so that's not Casper's fault.

[@afterwhilecrocodile]

The Great Bu will begin his dominance of the ATP Tour next season - he will take all 4 Slams, crush Sinner and Alcaraz in all head-to-head encounters! Like this if you, like me, are rooting for the Great Bu!

[@wimzswimz9843]

Just because Djokovic has confirmed not playing ATP Finals this year, so Ruud could play carelessly while Minaur and Rublev withdrew? How unprofessional they are!

[@vitaliykolisnychenko7156]

Bu has a great future on Tour.

[@wanggerald9527]

Ruud just doing his best here again

[@BrotherTree1]

I wouldn't play Turin if I was Ruud. Just shut down the year, get some rest, reflect and go back to the drawing board.

[@radoslavkoynov322]

And refuse 330k even if he loses 3 matches? And much more if he wins anything ^^

[@simonballard6413]

Norrie over-celebrating, as usual. Such an unlikeable player.

[@brodaism]

True but not Turin, I would have liked to him to skip entire indoor season.

[@gogogogo-d4g]

he does not really play in Metz pour jouer Turin. C'est l'objectif de saison de beaucoup de joueurs... c'est entre autre pour ça que depuis le changement de date de Metz, beaucoup de joueurs en quête de Masters abandonnent lorsque la place à Turin est gagnée ou perdue.

[@philbofettiArchive]

Might as well see what happens

[@randomtravel8419]

Casper is getting from bad to worse, surprisingly he remains in top 10

[@Askaa88]

Lmao Ruud, give the spot to Dimitrov or something. Ruud has lost 8 of 10 matches since the USO. He will likely lose his 3 RR matches too. He tanks up points during the clay swing without winning those big titles, goes deep at 250's and RG and he pretty much seals the spot. It's so lame seeing him lose 1st rounds and STILL goes up in ranking. He's been camping the #7-8-9 spot this year with results like a top 50 player. Give him some slack cuz he's multiple RG finalist? Nah, he must improve is he wants to remain top 10 in 2025. Pretty much anyone in the current top 20 can beat him on hardcourts and even on clay, Ruud is more a top 30 player and a top 10 player on his very best day.

[@doovyt7]

[@rohitbalakrishnan5004]

@@jessecdh bad. You might not have paid attention to the way Ruud began this year. 3-0 in United Cup against without dropping a set vs good hard court players. Indian Wells last 8. Miami last 16. The truth is Ruud caught a stomach bug towards the end of French open, and these suckers refuse to leave the body quickly. Down on energy for last few months but if you saw his R1 against Thompson in Paris masters, that was great level. Turin will hopefully be a true turning point.
