Ruud drama before the semifinals – cursed after canceled training – news Sport – Sports news, results and broadcast schedule

After yesterday’s victory against Danish Holger Rune, a major public quarrel started, ugly characteristics and accusations of lies. Ruud woke up to a media storm. And now when he finally had to warm up and settle in before the semi-final against Marin Cilic from 14.00 on track two, new challenges emerged. The training was interrupted by straight rain in the air. It did not go down well with Ruud, who aimed directly at the track crew. – You speak to me in French, as if I understand. Do you want me to speak Norwegian to you? Ruud tells the course crews on course two that they can train as conditions are now, but those who manage at course two on Roland Garros rejected this. The course is covered. – Why can you not listen to the players? Who will play the match ?, Ruud continues, clearly frustrated. Good Norwegian weather It does not often rain during Roland-Garros. But the few raindrops that have appeared, Lars Gjerdåker believes that there is nothing to wrinkle his nose at. He is the general secretary of the tennis association. – As a westerner, this is nice, good Norwegian summer weather. We play tennis in weather like this here, he says to news. He continues: – It is clear that the track crew received a message from the secretariat and does not dare to do anything about it. A bit like this is the French culture, that the decisions are made by those who are not necessarily present. Then it was as it was, and Ruud had to leave the field before he could start. – It is not so beneficial to be able to cancel your plan like this? – No, but on the other hand Ruud is quite experienced and used to waiting a long time. He is a professional and he handles this. I think the frustration came from the fact that there were playable conditions, and then common sense, which Casper has a lot of, that they could play there. But it did not fall through, says Gjerdåker. Afternoon match In a few moments, Rafael Nadal and Alexander Zverev will play against each other in the first semifinal of Roland-Garros, also called the French Open. The second semi-final is between Ruud and Cilic, and that match starts no earlier than 17.30. Both matches are played in the largest arena, the Philippe Chatrier course.
