Casper Ruud became the first Norwegian to win a Masters 1000 title after beating Jack Draper 7-5, 3-6, 6-4 in the Madrid Open final on Sunday.

Jack Draper could not quite clear the final hurdle as he strove to land his first title on clay. It was a significant hurdle, because Casper Ruud is a clay-court animal who was born and bred for this surface.

An inspired Casper Ruud defeated Jack Draper in three set to win the Madrid Open title on Sunday. The 23-year-old Briton fought back to level the match after losing the opening set, but it was three-time grand slam finalist Ruud who held the edge on the crucial points.
