Casper Ruud picked up his first indoor tournament title of his career at the Stockholm Open, and he left the commentators floored with his performance.

Ruud hit an ATP record in 2025 at the Stockholm Open and he followed it up by lifting the trophy in Sweden.

The Norwegian dropped just five games as he swept aside Ugo Humbert with a supreme performance in the final.

Ruud produced what he called one of his best performances of the year after the match and he ended up with a statistic that floored the Sky Sports commentators.

Casper Ruud dropped just three points on serve against Ugo Humbert

Ruud dominated Humbert in the final and swept aside the Frenchman in just over an hour with an incredibly convincing performance.

The new World No. 10 dropped just three points on his serve as he raced to his second tournament win of 2025.

The commentators were stunned by what they were seeing and described Ruud’s performance as ‘outstanding’ and ‘suffocating’.

“I’m pretty sure he’s never been able to do that in a professional match before, lose just three points,” said the broadcaster on Sky Sports.

“Stellar, stellar performance. I can’t praise the guy enough. How well he played there for just over an hour, made short work of Humbert. I thought it was going to be a lot tighter than that, but he was just too good.”

Ruud now has an outside chance of qualifying for the ATP Finals, with just two more tournaments left before the competition.

What Casper Ruud said after his Stockholm Open win

Ruud was typically delighted with his display against Humbert and described it as his ‘best match of the year’ after the final.

“I know that against you, if I don’t play well, you’re gonna destroy me, so I knew that I had to wake up and play well,” he said.

“I’m really happy and to win here in Stockholm is a little bit of a childhood dream because it’s close to Norway and all the legends have played here in the past. Federer, Nadal, Borg, McEnroe, you name it, so it’s an honor to get a title here.”

Ruud will play the Swiss Indoors following his Stockholm win, where he’ll play a qualifier or lucky loser in the first round.
