The quarter-final of Hamburg European Open 2023 between Casper Ruud and Arthur Fils will take place on July 28.
Casper Ruud’s confidence took a hit after a humbling loss to Andrey Rublev in the Bastad championship. This affected his performance in the ATP Hamburg campaign, where he struggled in matches against Sebastian Baez and Cristian Garin. However, Ruud’s resilience shone through as he found ways to stay in the competition and pursue his goal of winning a title above the ATP 250 level. He expressed his desire to claim a bigger title despite having won ten titles at the 250-level tournaments. Although he faced a challenging start to the season, the 2022 French Open and US Open runner-up regained his form on clay, reaching at least the quarterfinals in his last four tournaments on this surface, including consecutive finals at the French Open and Bastad.
In his ATP Hamburg debut, Arthur Fils impressed with consecutive 7-5, 7-5 wins against Daniel Elahi Galan and Dusan Lajovic, advancing to the quarterfinals. He showed composure, overcoming challenges to secure victories. Prior to this, the talented French teenager had reached three quarterfinals in six ATP events in 2023, progressively performing better each time. Notable wins include Quentin Halys in Montpellier (SF), Stan Wawrinka in Marseille (SF), and receiving a walkover from Felix Auger Aliassime in Lyon (champion). Fils has quickly adapted to the main tour, displaying resilience and skill on the court.
