Casper Ruud already has two titles in his bag this season, having won the Argentina Open and the Geneva Open. The Norwegian, however, is looking to make a bigger name for himself by winning a Grand Slam. At the French Open, he started his campaign with a win over Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in four sets before beating Emil Ruusuvuori, Lorenzo Sonego and Hubert Hurkacz to reach the quarterfinals. Ruud then managed a rather comfortable win on four sets over Holger Rune on Wednesday to book his spot in the semifinals of the Roland Garros for the first time.
