Casper Ruud has been on top of his game in the Miami Open 2022 reaching the final of the event where he will face Carlos Alcaraz.
Ruud is quite famously a Rafael Nadal fan and the Norwegian has had multiple chances to interact with the Spaniard having been a participant of the Rafael Nadal Tennis Academy. Ruud, whose tennis style is reminiscent of Nadal's, is also a fan of golf which is another thing he has in common with Nadal. The Spaniard is an avid golf fan and player with many noting he was quite good.
Ruud can confirm those reports as he said:
“I have played with him a couple of times in Mallorca. He is a very good golfer. I didn’t win. He beat me there as well.”
Ruud further said:
"He’s a very, very tough competitor. He doesn’t say much because he is so focused. Usually, on the golf course you are laughing a bit & joking around. With him, it’s no jokes (smiling)”
It's a mentality he displays on the tennis court as well and that's why he's so hard to defeat.

- As for ITIA -- who, or what entity, oversees this untrustworthy organization?? Too many recent cases of suspensions over tests proving minimal stats at best. Neither Iga nor Simona showed even a hint at prolonged use. Sinner, we don't know because the secrecy was extreme. Now we find ITIA flat-out LIED about speaking directly with the manufacturer of the drug in question associated with Iga. Are we to believe ITIA can be trusted? Not according to the past few years of questionable corporate conduct. ITIA can no longer be trusted to fairly regulate nor investigate itself... so who or what will??mandoist06-12-2024
