After leaving behind a brief grass court tour, where he only played two matches at Wimbledon, we can say that Casper Ruud was smiling again this week as he stepped back onto the clay. However, this morning, Thiago Monteiro crossed his path to wipe that smile off his face. It was a victory for the Brazilian in the round of 16 of the ATP 250 in Bastad, knocking out the second seed in the draw (6-3, 6-3), although we will still see the Norwegian teaming up with Rafa Nadal in the doubles discipline. On the other hand, Monteiro is having an outstanding season, having already defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas at the last Madrid Masters 1000.
