Casper Ruud did not last long in Toronto. Yet world No. 3, the Norwegian was eliminated Thursday in the round of 16 of the Masters 1000 by the Spaniard Alejandro Davydovich in three sets 7-6 (7/4), 4-6, 7-6 (7/4) .
In great shape, the 37th in the world had already eliminated the German Alexander Zverev the day before and will have every chance in the quarters against the American McKenzie McDonald, who beat Canadian veteran Milos Raonic on Thursday (6-3, 6-3).
Interrupted by rain
There have been many surprises since the start of the week in Toronto where six of the top ten seeds have already disappeared: Stefanos Tsitsipas, Andrey Rublev, Holger Rune, Frances Tiafoe, Félix Auger-Aliassime and Ruud.
The Norwegian, whose match against Davydovich was interrupted for an hour by the rain, was making his comeback on hard courts after playing on clay in July (final in Bastad and quarter-final in Hamburg, beaten by the young Frenchman Arthur Son).
Gaël Monfils, the day after his exploit against Tsitsipas, was to face the Australian Aleksandar Vukic, a lucky loser drafted after losing in qualification, ranked 62nd in the world.
