Casper Ruud approached the umpire and claimed he wasn’t doing “enough” to control the crowd in the middle of his semi-final showdown with Francisco Cerundolo. The No. 14 seed grew frustrated when spectators started calling out before his second serves during a tense, 15-minute game in the second set, and asked the chair official to step in.

Fans were doing anything and everything possible to urge Cerundolo on after he lost a closely contested first set.

Norwegian Casper Ruud did not let a rib injury get in the way of setting up a Madrid Open final showdown with fifth seed Jack Draper as he reached the title match without dropping a set following a 6-4 7-5 win over Francisco Cerundolo on Friday.
