Casper Ruud is travelling through South America with Nadal and playing some tennis with his first win coming in Ecuador.

It was the 3rd match between the pair during the Tour as they played in Argentina and Brazil before going to Ecuador. Nadal won the match in Argentina and the one in Brazil as well. However, in Quito it was time for revenge as Ruud won 6-4 6-4.

It snapped a winning streak for Nadal as they played at the ATP Finals as well with Nadal winning that one as well. Nadal also defeated Ruud earlier this year in the Roland Garros final with all those losses making the win feel even better.

"This year, I was not even able to play the Australian Open, so it's a big chance for me to get some sort of revenge down there and hopefully have a good result. I look forward to going to Australia and starting a new season," said Ruud in South America.

Next up they will play in Bogoto in Colombia with the final match happening in Mexico.
