On Saturday, February 24th, 2024, the Singles and Doubles finals of the Mifel Tennis Open by Telcel Oppo de Los Cabos 2024 were played in front of a divided stadium. The audience could hear both cheers: “Come on, Thompson”, “Come on, Ruud”.
In the Singles final, Jordan Thompson from Australia and Casper Ruud from Norway competed against each other. The opponents impressed the fans with their serves and moves, eliciting exclamations of astonishment at the end of each play. It was inevitable to attend the meeting and become engrossed in the energy.
Australian tennis player Jordan Thompson defeated Casper Ruud 6-3, 7-6(4) to win the Mifel Tennis Open by Telcel Oppo after two hours of play.
Australian tennis player Jordan Thompson won his first Singles title at the age of 29, defeating Casper Ruud in the final of the ATP 250 tournament. Thompson was ranked world No. 40 at the time, while Ruud was ranked world No. 12.
“It’s a feeling like no other. It was an incredible match and an incredible week; Casper is an incredible player and a Grand Slam finalist. It was a great effort to be here today. I appreciate the support from the crowd, and of course, I will have to come back. I still have to play doubles; I focus on the present. Many players have a career without winning titles, without playing finals, and you can’t fall apart.” declared Jordan Thompson.
But their confrontation was not over yet. Casper and Jordan confronted each other again in Doubles; Casper Ruud sought a rematch with American William Blumberg to face the Australian pair Jordan Thompson and Max Purcell formed.
