ATP > Casper Ruud: “When you grow up in a small tennis country like Norway and watch Nadal, Federer and Djokovic play those big matches all your life, sometimes it’s hard to believe you can be there yourself a day”

Passing through a press conference with the entire Norwegian team on the occasion of the United Cup, Casper Ruud, while returning to the famous lost final of the US Open against Carlos Alcaraz, recalled how his career was anything but trivial for a player from a country like Norway.

“Even though I was still able to sleep well, when I look back, I would have liked to win that match. It also gives me motivation to keep going, knowing that I was very close at some point. Of course, it would have been great to win it. Like I said earlier, believe in me that it’s possible, because when you grow up in a small tennis country like Norway and watch Nadal, Federer, Novak play those big matches all your life, it sometimes it’s hard to believe you can ever be there yourself. »
