C. RUUD/C. Eubanks
6-4, 6-2
Q. (Question off microphone.)
CASPER RUUD: I played Davis Cup in Norway and then a week later I played Laver Cup in London and then I went straight to Asia, so I was a little exhausted. This year I didn't make a final until the US Open, so I had more time at home and I enjoyed. I used those two weeks back home really well and I feel ready and motivated.
At this stage of the season I'm currently number 10 in the Race to Turin, so I know every week is going to matter, and that's motivating and a bit stressful at the same time, but I like the battle and the competition.
