2024 Barcelona Open ATP 500 Final - [5] Stefanos Tsitsipas (GRE) v/s [3] Casper Ruud (NOR)

[Move]

Great match, well done Casper

 

[MeatTornado]

How does Tsitsipas not read the moment and put the pressure on Ruud to close it out without getting too nervous? Just handed him the final game by going way too big on all his shots.

 

[GabeT]

We will always remember where we were the day Ruud won a 500!

 

[dking68]

Historic moment in Tennis: Casper Ruud has won his first title above the 250 category.
Congratulations!

Tsitsipas 0-11 in ATP 500 titles!

 

[Rattie]

Finally! Casper breaks the rule and wins a 500. Well done that man. Hopefully that stat will leave his head now going forward.

 

[GAS]

Not often I nail the poll

 

[Deleted member 758560]

congrats casper, finally you broke an ice, really glad to see..

 

[Rovesciarete]

Caser Ruud won almost 60% of the points, Stefanos only 25% of returns...

Crazy dominance! Barcelona isn't a Monte.

Will it be Ruud's chance to win his first GS title at Roland Garros?

Especially the 15-0 one. He was fine but went way too aggressive

 

[D-Lite]

So glad the 250 references can now end. 1000 next for this guy, surely.

 

[NoleFam]

Congrats to Ruud on his first 500 title! He played really well today. Tsitsipas looked a little off all week to me and I felt Ruud was the better player this week, and he played like it today. Well done.

He's been in the final the last 2 years.

 

[dking68]

Will it be Ruud's chance to win his first GS title at Roland Garros?

No he won’t. The Italian player, the Spanish prodigy and the Serbian legend will be too strong over 5 sets

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Simply Ravishing performance.

 

[Nostradamus]

LOL,, i don't get it ?? Commentator for tennis channel,, i think its Petchy ? said this is the Biggest title Ruud has won up to date ?? this is just a 500 title i believe,, not even 1000 event.....

It's Ruud's first title above 250 level.

 

[DSH]

Tsitsipas 0-11 in ATP 500 titles!

Tsitsipas sucks at ATP 500.
(In GS tournaments too, by the way).

 

[NaDjoFed]

Well deserved. Bravo Casper

 

[Nostradamus]

It's Ruud's first title above 250 level.

Ruud won masters event before,, i am sure of it

 

[FernandoBiH]

Will it be Ruud's chance to win his first GS title at Roland Garros?

If is Carlos healthy, he is first favourite. If isn't, Đoković. Rude, Tsitsipas, Zverev and Sinner have same odds.

Alcaraz 40%
Djokovic 30%
Other 126 players 30%

He's only won 250s before it's a running joke. Obviously 3x major finals is impressive and outweighs a 500 title but those results are not titles no matter how great they are.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Ain't no way to stop the Ruud awakening.

 

[Halfdan]

He's raised his game so much this year and increased his repertoire considerably. Fantastic tennis today for large parts of the match.

 

[D-Lite]

Ruud won masters event before,, i am sure of it

No he's only been to 1000 finals in Miami and Monte Carlo.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Amazing performance and win for Ruud. Congratulations to him! He’s had a great 2 weeks.

 

[DSH]

No he won’t. The Italian player, the Spanish prodigy and the Serbian legend will be too strong over 5 sets

Can 'chicken legs', the injured boy wonder and the old wolf stop the relentless Ruud in Paris?

 

[junior74]

We will always remember where we were the day Ruud won a 500!

Incredibly hung over in a crowded bus with two more hours left to go...

 

[dking68]

Can 'chicken legs', the injured boy wonder and the old wolf stop the relentless Ruud in Paris?

Yes

 

[DSH]

Classical music according to the moment, Ruud's awakening is already a historic moment in tennis.

 

[Rattie]

I love that they have an opera singer…classy!

 

[NoleFam]

Now that he has a 500, he has to win a Masters next.

 

[NeutralFan]

I told everyone that Stef's false dawn will get exposed soon, dude had a history of laying eggs everywhere except MC, and even this MC was a fluke win

 

[Nostradamus]

WOW,, some kind of Ceremony Ruud is getting,,,, LOL

 

[dking68]

Sinner will punish him in Rome with massive forehands and backhands

Ruud's awakening deserved it.

 

[dking68]

Ruud's awakening deserved it.

Who will win Wimbledon?

 

[NeutralFan]

Sinner will punish him in Rome with massive forehands and backhands

It's not even needed, Stef can't even beat the likes of Ruud

 

[DSH]

Who will win Wimbledon?

Alcaraz, Sinner or Djokovic.

 

[NeutralFan]

Alcaraz, Sinner or Djokovic.

Sinner

 

[Nostradamus]

Who will win Wimbledon?

Tsitsipas at this point, he's the hottest player on tour right now

Tbh I feel sorry for Stef fans like @Krish0608 who have shown faith in Stef but Stef has always let his fans down and once again showed his true levels.

 

[Nostradamus]

he won monte carlo and final in barcelona. i rest my case

 

[dking68]

he won monte carlo and final in barcelona. i rest my case

How many slams does he have?

 

[dking68]

Tbh I feel sorry for Stef fans like @Krish0608 who have shown faith in Stef but Stef has always let his fans down and once again showed his true levels.

He’s a letdown, he can’t even win 500s, how is he going to win slams?

 

[Rosstour]

Ruud is slaying the postmatch speech! Spoke very good Spanish and made some really funny jokes.

 

[Rosstour]

He even started with "Hola a todos" lol

Let him speak in Catalan too.
