PARIS (Reuters) -Norway's Casper Ruud, the French Open runner-up in 2022 and 2023, crashed out of the tournament in the second round on Wednesday after losing 2-6 6-4 6-1 6-0 to the unseeded Nuno Borges of Portugal.
Ruud, a clay court specialist, said he had been nursing a minor injury in his left knee for some weeks that had carried throughout the clay season and restricted his movements against Borges.
