Casper Ruud and Alex Molcan are scheduled to face one another in the round of 32 of the 2022 Canadian Open
Ever since he reached the final of the French Open this season, Casper Ruud’s form has hit a bit of a slump. At the 2022 Wimbledon Championships, the Norwegian could only go as far as the second round despite being one of the highest seeded players in the competition. After the grass court Grand Slam, Ruud had participated in quite a few competitions but he never really found his rhythm in any. That all changed eventually at the Swedish Open. Ruud, who was seeded first in Sweden, won the competition after defeating second seed Matteo Berrettini in the final.
Serbian tennis player Alex Molcan will be the first hurdle in Casper Ruud’s path to the Canadian title. Molcan had last participated in the 2022 Croatia Open but was eliminated in the round of 16. The Serbian did have a good performance at the German Open earlier where he reached as far as the semi-final.
Casper Ruud and Alex Molcan are scheduled to face one another in the round of 32 of the 2022 Canadian Open on Wednesday, August 10. The tournament is scheduled to run from August 8 till August 15.
The 2022 edition of the Canadian Open is set to begin from August 8 and go on until August 15. The men’s final is scheduled to be on August 15 and the women’s one is set to be held on August 14. There will be six rounds of play in the main draw excluding the qualifiers.
