Rafael Nadal vs Casper Ruud: Where to watch, TV schedule, live streaming details and more | 2022 ATP Finals
Former World No. 1 Rafael Nadal will square off against two-time Grand Slam finalist Casper Ruud in his final group tie of the 2022 ATP Finals on Thursday.
Nadal commenced his quest for a maiden title here on a losing note as he lost to Taylor Fritz in straight sets. Up against Felix Auger-Aliassime in his next group match, the Spaniard started off strong but was unable to keep up the momentum as he lost the contest 6-3, 6-4. It marked yet another disappointing year-end championship campaign for him.
The defeat ended the 36-year-old's hopes of clinching the year-end No. 1 ranking and knocked him out of the tournament as well. Ruud won his first round-robin match against Auger-Aliassime in straight sets but was put to the test by Taylor Fritz in his next match. Nevertheless, he managed to defeat the American 6-3, 4-6, 7-6(6) to seal a semifinal berth for the second straight year.
While the match will essentially be a dead rubber, both players could do well with a win. Ruud would like to keep the winning streak going, while a victory for Nadal would be a huge confidence boost. The Norwegian was completely outplayed when they faced off in the French Open final earlier this year but will be favored to come out on top this time around.
It'll be quite interesting to see if Nadal manages to turn things around as he has lost four matches in a row, starting with his US Open fourth-round defeat.
Here are all the details regarding his upcoming match with Ruud:
