Turin, November 19

Casper Ruud (in pic) completed the last-four line-up at the ATP finals today, setting up a meeting with holder Daniil Medvedev after a 2-6 7-5 7-6(5) victory over Andrey Rublev.

The 22-year-old Norwegian qualifies as runner-up from the Green Group as world No. 1 Novak Djokovic, who takes on Cameron Norrie later in Turin, is already through and faces Alexander Zverev for a place in the final.

Making his tournament debut, Ruud bounced back from an opening defeat by Djokovic to overcome Norrie and then Rublev, and was relishing the prospect of facing Medvedev.

“I’m enjoying the moment,” Ruud said. “I’m looking forward to tomorrow. It’s going to be another tough battle, a different kind of player from today, but one of the best in the world. He’s proven himself as one of the best over the past two or three years.” — Reuters

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
