Norway’s Casper Ruud said his trip to Asia was “not what I was really hoping for” after exiting the Japan Open with a second-round defeat to qualifier Marcos Giron on Wednesday.
World No. 8 Ruud, who reached this year’s French Open final, lost in the Beijing Open quarter-finals before bowing out in the last 16 of the Shanghai Masters this month. Ruud’s Asian swing ended with a 3-6, 4-6 defeat to American World No. 79 Giron in Tokyo, but he tried to stay positive, noting his fall at the first hurdle at last year’s tournament.
