Australian Open No. 2 seed Casper Ruud was dumped out of the grand slam by American Jenson Brooksby on Thursday
Ruud, who reached the finals of the French Open and US Open in 2022, saved three match points and came back from 2-5 down in the third set to take the match to a fourth, but the 22-year-old Brooksy wasn’t to be denied. The American’s victory means the top two seeds from the men’s draw have been knocked out after Rafael Nadal lost to Mackenzie McDonald on Wednesday .
The big-hitting American kept Ruud on the back foot, though he won the second set with a slice of luck as his backhand hit the net and trickled over. Ruud fought back to win the third set, though his frustration continued and at one point he could be heard shouting “Why?” at himself. Ruud lost the fourth set when a return landed long, giving Brooksby only his second ever victory over a top five seed, having beaten Stefanos Tsitsipas in the past.
