AUCKLAND, Jan 11 — World number three Casper Ruud’s buildup for the Australian Open has suffered an unexpected blow after losing his first match at the Auckland Classic.
“It’s a great feeling. It’s been some time since my last win over a top-10 player, I’ve lost many in a row,” Djere said.“In the first set, not many things worked. I had a feeling I didn’t have answers to his game, and then I tried some new things and it worked out. I’m a bit exhausted but also very happy.”
Ruud’s timing deserted him over the last two sets, with the 24-year-old struggling with a heavy Djere serve on the slick surface after rain forced the match indoors.The exception is Cameron Norrie, although the British world number 12 had his hands full in beating 78th-ranked Czech opponent Jiri Lehecka 6-4, 6-7 , 6-3.
