Casper Ruud nets 100th hard-court win of career with victory over Davidovich Fokina in Miami

Casper Ruud has advanced to the fourth round in Miami with a 6-3, 6-4 victory over Alejandro Davidovich Fokina on Sunday night.

And the Norwegian's win over the Spaniard was a special one: it was the milestone 100th hard-court win of his career.

The 25-year-old Ruud is just the sixth man currently 25 or under to have already posted 100 career wins on hard courts.

MEN AGE 25 & UNDER WITH 100+ HARD-COURT WINS (tour-level):
197: Stefanos Tsitsipas [age 25]
176: Alex de Minaur [age 25]
153: Jannik Sinner [age 22]
138: Denis Shapovalov [age 24]
137: Felix Auger-Aliassime [age 23]
100: Casper Ruud [age 25]

And with 121 career wins on clay, Ruud is the only man currently 25 or under to have 100 or more career wins on both hard and clay.

And there’s more—for someone who’s sometimes incorrectly labeled as a clay-court specialist, Ruud has done an awful lot of winning at the biggest hard-court tournaments on the ATP calendar.

In fact, 50 of his now-100 hard-court wins have come at the three biggest levels—Grand Slams, the ATP Finals and Masters 1000s.

He has a 17-11 career record at the hard-court Grand Slams, a 5-4 record at the season-ending ATP Finals, and—with his latest win in Miami—a 28-22 record at Masters 1000 events on the surface.

Awaiting the No. 7-seeded Ruud in the fourth round in Miami will be No. 22 seed Nicolas Jarry or Brazilian qualifier Thiago Seyboth Wild.
