Tennis Scores Today: Ruud vs Wu — Result and Context
The headline result is straightforward: Wu upset Ruud in their Mexican Open first-round meeting at Arena GNP Seguros in Acapulco, Mexico. That outcome arrived against a backdrop in which pre-match analysis and tips had strongly favored Ruud to prevail in straight sets.
Ruud vs Wu Preview and the Pre-Match Prediction
Before the match, the matchup was framed as a first-round clash in the Mexican Open with Casper Ruud expected to overcome Yibing Wu. The pre-match tip offered a clear prediction: Casper Ruud to win 2-0. That preview was part of broader first-round coverage that also listed additional match previews such as Dimitrov vs. Atmane.
Casper Ruud’s Recent Form: Delray Beach Recap
Ruud’s immediate lead-in form was mixed. He competed at the Delray Beach Open last week, where he overcame Marcos Giron in a tight three-set match to reach the quarter-finals. In the following round he lost to Sebastian Korda despite taking the first set, and Korda went on to win the event. Observers had noted Ruud has not been at his best so far this season, despite occasional positive displays; nonetheless pre-match assessments judged his all-court quality sufficient to get the better of Wu in straight sets.
Yibing Wu’s Build-Up: Qualifying and Recent Slams
Wu reached the Acapulco main draw after a qualifying sequence in which he beat Juan Pablo Ficovich and Rinky Hijikata without dropping a set. That run was described as a step in the right direction for the Chinese player, who had not managed the same feat in Delray Beach the previous week. Wu also produced an encouraging showing at the Australian Open, where he reached the point of being a set away from the third round after entering the tournament through qualifying.
