After his 6-4, 6-2 thumping against 10th seed Hubert Hurkacz, Ruud improved to 2-3 in his Lexus ATP Head2Head series with Humbert to reach his second Monte-Carlo semi-final (2021).<\/p>\n<p>Ruud troubled Humbert with his weight of shot and drew the World No. 15 in the PIF ATP Rankings into tempting openings, which then created unforced errors from the 25-year-old&lt;<\/p>\n<p>Humbert won four consecutive games from 0-2 in the second set, playing with more aggression and frequently changing direction to extend the match. But it was Ruud&#8217;s forehand consistency that held off Humbert&#8217;s late charge as the Norwegian advanced after two hours, five minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Ruud, 25, will next look for his maiden win against World No. 1 Novak Djokovic, who is 5-0 against the 10-time tour-level titlist. Their previous meeting came in last year&#8217;s Roland Garros final, which Djokovic won in straight sets.<\/p>\n<p>Humbert was aiming for his first Masters 1000 semi-final appearance. Already a champion in Marseille and Dubai this season, Humbert is at a career-high No. 13 in the PIF ATP Live Rankings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Norwegian aiming to first ATP Masters 1000 crown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-77527","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-non-classifiee-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
