Casper Ruud takes on Yoshihito Nishioka in the quarterfinals of the Korea Open

Casper Ruud at the Nitto ATP World Tour Finals Following his victory over Nicolas Jarry, Casper Ruud will cross paths with Yoshihito Nishioka in the quarterfinals of the 2022 Korea Open. The Japanese star, unseeded in the event, defeated fifth seed Dan Evans in the first round before dispatching off compatriot Taro Daniel in the second to set up a meeting with the World No. 2. Ruud beat Nishioka in their only previous meeting on the ATP Tour, wrapping up their clash at the 2021 Madrid Open in straight sets. A victory against the Japanese once again on Friday would pit him against either Mackenzie McDonald or Aleksandar Kovacevic in the semifinals. Meanwhile, the bottom half of the draw is far more stacked, with second seed Cameron Norrie, fourth seed Denis Shapovalov and eighth seed Jenson Brooksby having all made the quarterfinals. Norrie and Shapovalov are the favorites to reach the semifinals, with the former scheduled against Brooksby and the latter taking on Radu Albot on Friday. If Casper Ruud manages to win the title in Seoul on Sunday, it will mark his fourth title of the year and the 10th of his career. So far in 2022, the Norwegian has won trophies in Gstaad, Geneva and Buenos Aires, meaning that the Korea Open title could becoming his first non-clay title of the season.
