PARIS (Reuters) -Twice runner-up Casper Ruud started his latest bid to reach another French Open final with a crushing 6-3 6-4 6-2 victory over seasoned Spanish qualifier Albert Ramos Vinolas in the first round on Monday.
Ruud warmed up for Roland Garros by becoming the first Norwegian winner of a Masters 1000 title at this month's Madrid Open before the 26-year-old's momentum ground to a halt after a 6-0 6-1 hammering by Jannik Sinner in the Rome quarter-finals.
