The 2022 ATP 250 Tour and Munich tournaments reached the quarterfinals.
A wonderful match between the No. 2 seed, Norway's 1st Brother Rudd and the Dutch "long-name brother" Van der Zamschup.
Ruud is currently ranked seventh in the world and appears as the No. 2 seed of the tournament.
After winning the Buenos Aires championship, Ruud played a final at the Monte Carlo Masters, but unfortunately lost, and then went to Barcelona without stopping, and the quarter-finals against the host player Busta seemed to waste three match points and was reversed by the other side.
Coming to Munich, the No. 2 seed who had a bye in the first round of the game against slovenian left-handers and Morcan in the second round, first lost a set, made a thrilling reversal, and struggled to reach the quarterfinals.
In the quarter-finals, Ruud's opponent was Dutchman Van der Zanchschup, who was also the 8th seed of the tournament.
Last year's US Open, the Dutchman became famous in the US Open, and among the opponents won on the way to the promotion was Norway Andrud.
That match, and the only meeting between the two sides, Ruud lost in four sets.
Therefore, this game can also be counted as a revenge battle for the No. 2 seed.

In the following innings, both men's performances were relatively stable.
In the seventh set, the No. 2 seed's serve was in crisis again, this time facing two break points on the other side, and Rudd saved again at the critical moment, struggling to save;
In the next three sets, neither side was able to cause enough trouble for the other, and the match came to a 5:5 draw;
At the crucial moment of the eleventh set, Van der Zamshupp won two break points in the opponent's serve for the third time, and after successfully cashing in, he entered the set with a 6:5 advantage;
In the twelfth set, the No. 2 seed had a chance to break, but was deflected by the Dutchman's serve, and after successfully winning, Van der Zamshup scored 7:5 ahead.
In the first set, whether from the final result or the process, the No. 2 seed was in the ascendant, and the opponent got 5 break points in the whole set, and he only saw one break opportunity at the end of the set.

In the second set, ruud still took the lead.
After taking the first serve, the game went straight to the Dutchman's rhythm.
From the third set, the No. 2 seed's three serves in that set were all broken by the opponent.
Especially in the seventh inning, which had to be guaranteed, Rude was actually broken by the opponent in a straight four-point manner to deliver the whole game.
In the clay field where he was good at, Ruud was given a fritter by the long name brother in the second set, which was still somewhat unexpected.
In a 93-minute match, The 2nd seed Ruud barely resisted, losing two sets while being hit by a two-game combo by Dutchman Van der Zamshupp and stopping in the quarter-finals of Munich.
In this way, the top seed Zverev and the no. 2 seed Rudd were both cold out of the game early.
Dutchman Van der Zamshup, who successfully defeated Rudd, reached the semi-finals.
In the next game, the opponent of the long name brother is Kecmanovic from Serbia, who of the two can reach the final?
