Schwartzman was very precise and aggressive in the first set, in which he broke the service in the opening game to the Norwegian, to keep his until the end of the sleeve and win it 6-3.
In the second boy, “Peque” recovered from the loss of his service, which allowed Ruud to lead 2-0, to break in the fourth and eighth game, and win again 6-3.
In this way, Schwartzman, who had come to this match after leaving the American Maxime Cressy and the British Daniel Evans on the road, was left with a notable victory against Ruud and will now face the British Cameron Norrie (26), who later beat the local Tommy Paul (60) by 6-4, 4-6 and 6-2.
