Rublev beats Ruud to win Swedish Open title

BBC Online :
Andrey Rublev beat Casper Ruud in straight sets to claim the Swedish Open title in Bastad.
Russia’s world number seven, 25, defeated Norway’s Ruud 7-6 (7-3), 6-0 to win his second title of the year.
Elsewhere, Pedro Cachin, 28, won his first career title beating 35-year-old Spaniard Albert Ramos-Vinolas 3-6, 6-0, 7-5 in the Swiss Open final.
The clay-court events are traditionally played after Wimbledon and before the US hard-court swing begins.
World number four Ruud, 24, won the Bastad title in 2021 but could not repeat that success, beaten by Rublev who has already won a title on clay this season at the Monte Carlo Masters 1000 event.
Argentine Cachin, ranked 90th in the world, will move to a career-high ranking of 49 on Monday with his maiden title win in Gstaad, Switzerland.
