Fans were doing anything and everything possible to urge Cerundolo on after he lost a closely contested first set.

Jack Draper defeated Lorenzo Musetti, setting up a Madrid Open final clash with Casper Ruud, who overcame a rib issue to beat Francisco Cerundolo. Ruud seeks his first Masters 1000 title after two previous final losses.

Casper Ruud approached the umpire and claimed he wasn’t doing “enough” to control the crowd in the middle of his semi-final showdown with Francisco Cerundolo. The No. 14 seed grew frustrated when spectators started calling out before his second serves during a tense, 15-minute game in the second set, and asked the chair official to step in.
