The amount of luck Ruud has with the net and lines is insane in this match though. Everything going his way

Damn it. Either Fritz or FAA in the semis. Honestly, Taylor just messed up here. Stole the 2nd set of course but should've done much better in this TB. Certainly had the ability.

Aww damn, was rooting for Fritz. Ruud seems nice and all but I get so bored of his game. He reminds me of Juan Monaco in terms of playing style.

Yes, what has impressed me is that he is doing it on fast indoor HC here in Turin.
Yea me too. Showing that he is not just good on clay on two fast courts in big tournaments: here and the USO. Serve and forehand are great. Imagine if he improves that backhand. He can get even better.

He's growing on me. I do like that forehand.

That forehand can be a rocket at times. Very nice shot indeed. He's a workhorse but good to have guys like that in game imo.

Very Ferrer like with his approach. But that forehand does make him someone you want to watch, if he is in the flow.

He is a terrific player and super professional. A great example on court and behaves so well. Very likeable guy.

Yea he's very similar to Ferrer but I think he has a bigger forehand. Yea it's one of the better forehands in the game right now. Nice spin on it too.

I'd still take the Del Potro forehand any day of the week for pure spectacle, and horsepower....I think Ruud probably would too. LOL But, on the current tour, yes, it is one of the ones that brings the hot sauce to a wing party.

Yea Del Potro has a hammer forehand and game changer. Lol. Ruud's is not quite that level but yea one that stands out amongst the current players. 16 winners off that wing from him tonight.

So why is he so underrated on TTW?
0-2 slam finals, 0-1 M1K finals, zero 500 finals, 9 250 titles (8 on clay), 1 match win at Wimbledon, 4 total on grass. Is that enough data to suggest he’s a bit of an underperformer for a player who crested at #2?

Of course, if Ruud walks away as the winner on Sunday and returns to #2 then he checks off the box concerning winning a big title.
