Top-seeded On his journey to the title match, Ruud had not dropped a set all week, but he got himself into danger before rediscovering his poise to beat the tenacious Argentine.
Following a high-quality start, both players missed opportunities to break, most notably when Ruud blasted a forehand long on set point after a 42-shot lengthy rally, allowing Schwartzman to escape and hold for 5-5.
The Norwegian’s miss seemed to stay in his thoughts, and the Argentine capitalised in the next game to take the first break of the final. Ruud’s groundstrokes began to make uncommon errors, and the World No. 15 was forced to serve out the first set.
