Ruusuvuori Lacking Consistency
It’s been a season when Emil Ruusuvuori has looked good in phases but hasn’t been able to deliver the results on a consistent basis.
The Finn has reached two quarterfinals this year, one of them was his first at an ATP 1000 tournament in Miami. The second was in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, where he went down in the semifinal.
The 24-year-old, who reached a career-high ranking of no. 37 earlier this year, has featured in one ATP final in his career, but is yet to win a title.
In his most recent tournaments in North America, he went down in the third round in Washington but lost in the opening round in Toronto last week.
He will be making his third appearance in Cincinnati and has made the second round in both the previous years in 2020 and 2022.
