US Open 2025: Casper Ruud hits the first ball

As the runner-up of the tournament a few years ago, Casper Ruud knows that in New York, there are conditions that can suit his game very well, although that does not always translate into good results here at the US Open. So far, in this 2025 edition, he has started in the best possible way, defeating Sebastian Ofner in straight sets (6-1, 6-2, 7-6) and advancing to the second round without complications, where he will face the Belgian Collignon. We will see to what extent the mixed doubles experiment from last week has helped him, perhaps giving him that much-needed edge in the early stages.
