The Norwegian lifted the trophy at the ATP 250 event last year and has looked comfortable on the Swiss clay again this week. He showcased great athleticism and pulled the 26-year-old around with his aggressive hitting to advance after one hour and 44 minutes.
With advance to his fifth semi-final of the season, surpassing the four semi-finals he reached last year.
“It was difficult from the first to the last point,” Ruud said. “Thanasi is a player with big weapons, dangerous shots and he has been playing well this year. It is fun to see him back, I have known he has been struggling with injuries. It was the first time playing against him, so everything was new. I was able to break him at the end of the first set and play some good points in the tie-break and that sealed the match.”
