Resilience and perseverance in the journey of Casper Ruud. A timeline of obstacles and growth.
Casper Ruud is a highly accomplished Norwegian professional tennis player. Reaching a career-high ranking of world No. 2 in September 2022, he holds the distinction of being the highest-ranked Norwegian tennis player ever. Ruud's achievements include winning twelve ATP Tour singles titles. He has also been a finalist at three major tournaments, demonstrating his consistent performance at the highest levels of the sport, and runner-up at the 2022 ATP Finals.
After losing to Francisco Cerúndolo in the second round of the Paris Masters, Ruud left the top ten for the first time since joining in 2021.
In 2022, Casper Ruud experienced a drop in his world ranking to No. 5 after failing to defend his finalist points from the 2022 Miami Open during the early North American swing, where he lost in the second round of both the Mexican Open and the Indian Wells Masters and Miami Masters.
In January 2023, Casper Ruud publicly criticized the length of the ATP Tour calendar and announced his intention to take a month-long break from competition after the 2023 Australian Open.
In 2023, Casper Ruud faced varying results: losing in the third round of the Monte-Carlo Masters, being upset in the second round of the Madrid Open, reaching the semifinals of the Italian Open, and advancing to the final of the French Open where he fell to Novak Djokovic.
In 2023, Ruud's backhand saw a decline in power and accuracy, but he improved on it the following season.
