It seems that Wimbledon was no exception. The third Grand Slam of the year turned out to be the tournament of surprises in the 2025 season, but consistency appears to be one of the main deficiencies for those players expected to step up. In this case, Casper Ruud decided not to even play on grass, skipping the surface entirely, only to return to clay.

So far, it hasn't gone too well for him. After struggling in his debut at ATP Gstaad 2025, the Norwegian player, ranked 12th in the world, disappointed in his second match at the Swiss tournament. A strong Juan Manuel Cerúndolo won the duel in the third set, leaving Ruud with some peculiar feelings on his favorite surface.

Juan Manuel Cerúndolo, ranked 109th in the world, also had to come back from a 0-3 deficit in the decisive set to finally secure the victory and set up a semifinal clash with Ignacio Buse: "It was quite tough. He (Casper Ruud) was being much more aggressive than me, and that made it easy for him to win."

The crucial comeback

"I think I held on mentally, didn't let the match slip away, and went from 0-3 to having the wind in my favor. With the help of the wind and perhaps some of his errors, I made it 1-3," recounted the Argentine player about that small comeback in the third set, in statements to the official ATP.

"Then suddenly I was at 2-3, and when I was down by just one break, I started to feel confident again and fought harder than ever. I had more confidence, was more aggressive, and began hitting each ball harder. I think that was the key to my comeback in the final set."
