I think we both just refused to do a mistake knowing how important that point is.” I’m on my serve,” the 23-year-old explained. “It was a very important point in the match. I had not wasted two because he served well on the two previous set points.

Ruud, the No. 5 seed, has already played in one Grand Slam final this year.

In each of his three five-set matches against Marin Cilic, Jannik Sinner and Tiafoe, he has had clear and numerous opportunities to finish with far less toil, and it is partly his wastefulness that has forced him to be so resilient.
