The 2020 champion recovered from a first-set lapse to quieten an energized home crowd and seal a 5-7, 6-2, 6-3 win in two hours, 35 minutes in Buenos Aires. “It’s been an unbelievable week,” said Ruud after sealing his seventh ATP Tour title. “To come back here and try to defend the title not from last year but from two years ago has been a challenge, and I enjoyed every minute of it.”
“Playing in front of all the fans on this centre court was a great feeling again, being back on clay, coming back to South America after two years, so I hope I can come back next year and try to do the same.”
