PARIS–Last year's French Open runner-up Casper Ruud battled into the quarterfinals with a 7-6(3) 7-5 7-5 win over Chile's Nicolas Jarry as the pressure caught up with the Norwegian on Monday. The fourth seed struggled against claycourt specialist Jarry, who led in the last two sets but could not take his chance. Ruud next faces Dane Holger Rune in a rematch of last year's quarter-final after the sixth seed battled past Argentine Francisco Cerundolo in five sets. 'If we had gone five sets I don't know how long we would have played,' Ruud said on court Philippe Chatrier.
