Australian Open bez prvog i drugog nositelja: Brooksšokirao Ruuda
Nakon oproštaja prvog nositelja u Melbourneu, Rafaela Nadala, prvi Grand Slam turnir sezone ostao je i bez drugog nositelja, Norvežanina Caspera Ruuda, piše hrt.hr.
Nakon što je jučer Mackenzie McDonald izbacio Nadala, dvadesetčetverogodišnjeg Norvežanina, trećeg igrača svijeta u drugom kolu Australian Opena svladao je dvije godine mlađi Jenson Brooksby, 48. tenisač s ATP ljestvice.
Amerikanac je slavio sa 6:3, 7:5, 6:7 (4), 6:2 nakon skoro četiri sata igre.
