Tennis star Casper Ruud has been making bold headlines as he recently recorded one of the biggest wins of his career after defeating legendary player Novak Djokovic in Monte Cario last weekend. However, the great player reached another milestone in Barcelona after defeating Djokovic.
Meanwhile, Ruud also defeated Jordan Thompson in the third round of the ATP 500 clay-cort event by 6-1, 6-4, which marks his 26th win of the year. He had surpassed Jannik Sinner to become the new leader during the men's tour. However, the star player has recently talked about his form.
Rudd acknowledged that he is in the sublime form, and he aims to continue the same. The star player is looking forward to building the confidence to continue his great form. The 25-year-old reveals that he is feeling well physically and mentally, and he somehow places himself in a better position as compared to last year. The Norwegian-born player also highlighted the importance of every individual game and how he wants to continue the same in his career.
I’m in probably a better place than last year, something that we worked on over the pre-season this year: Casper Ruud
“I’m feeling like I’m in good form. Just trying to build on the confidence, on the wave that I’m on, trying to ride on it continuously, and yeah, it was a good match today. It was a tricky one, because Jordan has caused a lot of problems for me. I think he’s a fantastic player, especially on the serve, he comes to the net a lot—tricky—and he has a fantastic volley. Not so many guys come to the net anymore so it’s good to see, but sometimes it’s frustrating because you feel like you can’t pass him," Ruud said afterwards.
"I’m feeling well physically and mentally. I’m in probably a better place than last year, something that we worked on over the pre-season this year. I’m just very happy to keep on the roll," he added further.
