Ruud finished as the runner-up at Roland Garros earlier this year but could not cross the final hurdle against his idol, Rafael Nadal, and lost in straight sets. Casper Ruud defeated Jack Sock 6-4, 5-7, 10-7 to win the first match for Team Europe against Team World in the ongoing Laver Cup at the O2 Arena in London on Friday.
