NEW YORK (AP) — Casper Ruud is still chasing his first Grand Slam title and the No. 1 ranking at the U.S. Open. The 23-year-old from Norway made it to his first semifinal at Flushing Meadows by beating Matteo Berrettini 6-1, 6-4, 7-6 (4) on Tuesday. Ruud will face Nick Kyrgios or Karen Khachanov next. Kyrgios eliminated defending champion and top-ranked Daniil Medvedev in the fourth round. Ruud’s best showing at a major tournament entering this season was one fourth-round appearance but he got to the final at the French Open in June before this run in New York.
