ATP Nordea Open: Ruud loses to Monteiro but advances with Nadal in doubles

The Hindu  

Casper Ruud’s Olympic preparations took a hit when he fell to Thiago Monteiro in the round of 16 at Bastad on Wednesday before advancing in the doubles with Rafael Nadal. Ruud, a two-time French Open runner-up and a finalist in Sweden last year, suffered his first defeat against Monteiro, losing 6-3, 6-3 to the Brazilian whom he had beaten on each of their three previous meetings. Nadal returned to competition for the first time this week since his early French Open exit and next meets British fifth seed Cameron Norrie in the singles. He also took advantage of Ruud’s inconsistent service to break him three times in sealing his win in just under 90 minutes.
