Start --><\/p>\n<p>Casper Ruud routinely secured his place in the Italian Open final by defeating Luciano Darderi in straight sets in Rome.<\/p>\n<p>Despite a lengthy rain delay, Ruud was able to beat the Italian 6-1 6-1 to reach the Rome final, where he will play either Daniil Medvedev or Jannik Sinner.<\/p>\n<p>Ruud has now reached the final of all three Masters event on clay court, following previous final appearances at the Madrid Open and the Monte Carlo Masters.<\/p>\n<p>The star has been in impressive form in Rome as he\u2019s picked up victories against Zachary Svajda, Jiri Lehecka, Lorenzo Musetti, Karen Khachanov, and now Darderi.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on-court after the victory against the Italian, he said: \u201cIt feels great. A bit sorry for Luciano today. Playing at home and probably not with the most of energy. It\u2019s understandable,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<h2>More ATP Tour news<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/alexander-zverev-issues-statement-after-withdrawing-atp-event-just-before-roland-garros\">Alexander Zverev issues statement after withdrawing ATP event just before Roland Garros<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/atp-tour\/italian-open-daniil-medvedev-reveals-strategy-against-jannik-sinner\">Daniil Medvedev reveals \u2018what he\u2019s going to try to do\u2019 against Jannik Sinner<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/casper-ruud\">Ruud<\/a> believes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/luciano-darderi\">Darderi\u2019s<\/a> exploits against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/rafael-nadal\">Rafael Jodar<\/a> in his quarter-final match was the real reason he was able to win the match at a canter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe finished at 2:30 the other night. What a match he had and what a tournament he\u2019s had. Luckily for me I was done much earlier than him that day. I had more time to recover and get ready. It\u2019s my 10th semifinal in 1000s and it\u2019s his first.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo you try to use that experience to your advantage and I think I did that well today. He was maybe a bit stressed and a bit nervous of the occasion. I tried to stay focused and in my own tunnel vision in a way. I think I did well. I was forcing a lot of errors out of his racquet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Norwegian will now watch on eagerly as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/Daniil-medvedev\">Medvedev<\/a> plays <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/jannik-sinner\">Sinner<\/a> for a chance to play Ruud in the final. Ruud was typically coy about which player he wants to play in the final.<\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt will be a tough match no matter who it is. Either it will be a guy who cannot lose it seems like. Or it will be Daniil who won this tournament before. Both are great players and incredible athletes,\u201d he said. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIf it\u2019s Jannik it will be another test for me and hopefully I can get some sort of revenge from last time we played.. See if I can do better. No easy task no matter who it is. I\u2019m really proud and happy to be in the final here for the first time. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt\u2019s a good feeling after a bit of a troubled year. These things have really kind of kick started the season now. Let\u2019s see if I can keep it going.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Ruud is back inside the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/ATP-Tour\">ATP Tour<\/a> top 20 after his performances in Rome and he currently sits at World No. 17 in the rankings.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everything Casper Ruud said after reaching Italian Open final as he makes \u2018revenge\u2019 claim about Jannik Sinner Liam McMillen 15 May 2026 6:30 PM Casper Ruud waves to the crowd after a win.
