Ruud achieves a milestone in Masters 1000 clay court events unprecedented this decade

Casper Ruud seems to rediscover his best form on this clay court swing. First in Madrid and now in Rome, where he is already in the semifinals after defeating Karen Khachanov (6-1, 1-6, 6-2). The Norwegian has just achieved a milestone unseen in this decade, not even the Big 3; not Carlos Alcaraz, nor Jannik Sinner: Ruud is the only player, since 2020, to have reached the semifinals of all three clay court Masters 1000.
