Andrey Rublev reigned supreme in the finals of the Nordea Open on Sunday, as he completely outplayed Casper Ruud in straight sets. The Russian handed a bagel to the three-time Grand Slam finalist in the second set, as the Norwegian had no answers to the onslaught.

Andrey Rublev and Casper Ruud are two of the nicest guys on the ATP Tour and are generally admired by their peers as well. The latter cracked up the crowd during the trophy presentation ceremony, after making a hilarious statement on Andrey Rublev’s level of tennis in the final.

Casper Ruud praised his opponent by stating that he was among the nicest people on the tour. However, he hilariously claimed that Andrey Rublev caught all the lines during their battle on Sunday. Rublev has had a good couple of months on the tour, as he reached the quarterfinals of Wimbledon earlier, where he was defeated by Novak Djokovic in four sets.
