Casper Ruud issues apology immediately after lifting Madrid Open trophy

Casper Ruud immediately issued an apology after lifting his first Masters 1000 trophy in Madrid. The No. 14 seed beat Jack Draper 7-5 3-6 6-4 in Sunday's final to clinch the biggest title of his career. Afterwards, he joined the Sky Sports team for a post-match interview, where he said sorry to the British pundits and viewers.

The 26-year-old was full of kind words for Draper after the two-hour and 29-minute clash, branding him a "threat" on any surface. But Ruud admitted that he had to remind himself he was the more experienced clay-court player in order to get the job done.
