Casper Ruud continues to advance steadily in his mission to defend the title at the Mutua Madrid Open. The Norwegian swept past Alejandro Davidovich (6-3, 6-1) to reach the round of 16, having only dropped five games throughout the tournament. Ruud showed great concentration from the start and never allowed the Malaga player to get into the match, leaving him without a response to the solidity of the defending champion. Ruud now awaits Tsitsipas or Dani Mérida in the round of 16.
