SAKEN BLIR OPPDATERT
Frenchman Jonathan Eysseric is Casper's next opponent.
Jonathan Eysseric is currently ranked as 243 in the world for singles.
Casper Ruud won his first qualifier match against Russian Teymuraz Gabashvili - 6-4, 6-4.
He won the match in two straight sets and about 1 hour and 20 minutes play.
Ruud had a two match ball advantage that he failed to capitalize on, but had in the end the better serve and fought back to win the match.
His trainer Pedro had this to say about the match:
Good serving for Casper today. Not the best tennis but hard to play on these very fast courts. First set he played very well the important points of the last games of the set and second set he played better tennis and started more aggressive than in the first. Last couple of games he hesitated a bit trying to play solid instead of staying aggressive but ended up brave on the last game
Casper Ruud is in Melbourne and ready for Australian Open and aim to make 2017 a big year.
