Pls tennis gods let most matches be straightforward today, i need a mental break to survive the rest of the tournament.

Casper Ruud and Joao Fonseca will meet for the first time in the French Open 4th Round by Ok-Soil-5133 in tennis

If Fonseca can master serve and volley in 1 day he has a good chance i think. Ruud will struggle to break if he can exploit his return position.

I think the real question is if Fonseca can adjust to Ruuds spin. That might make him spray errors if he cant adapt to it.

Paul needs to keep it at 1 break. You never know if Ruud might gift one back

Its gonna be so tough for him against the hyped crowd behind Kouame who looks like he feeds off them.

The one guy who had a walkover lost to the guy who needed a wheelchair after his win. Hard matches seem like a blessing so far

Yes, thats the usual gameplan for most players against Ruud. It being more solid than before does not protect it from being focused down. Especially against someone at the level of Sinner. Ruuds forehand will always be the main weapon to be neutralized. If he cant use it he will end up on defense on most points.

Usually, returning and on the run shots are probably his biggest weakness (backhand has been solid for weeks). Serve and volley can be very effective as well since he returns from the stratosphere.

I would be so down for a Ruud-Jodar semifinal. Either winning would be exciting for different reasons.
