But Casper Ruud Nor had any manga left and if its expressiveness did not seem so vigorous Like the British, in his favor he had been seen in More occasions in similar scenariossa a final of the Magic Box, although so far it would have always been defeated.

It is never easy to close the games and A Jack with fewer tables had a hard time taking a sleeve that opted the game because when the situation was given again in the shown set It was, again, the Norwegian who played with more poise while Jack seemed to miss him bellows physical and mood. He took command with 4-2 and did not deliver it anymore. On the way, both tennis players gave a colorful party and with many alternatives, worthy of the mutua Madrid Open.
