Norway’s tennis star Casper Ruud will miss the upcoming ATP Finals event after a disappointing outing in the Paris Masters.

The 24-year-old had hopes of playing in the last big tournament of the men’s tennis calendar depending upon his performance in the ongoing Paris Masters.

However, Ruud did not live up to the expectations as he suffered a defeat in the round of 32 of the competition to Argentina’s Francisco Cerundolo with a score of 7-5, 6-4.

The three-time Grand Slam finalist came second-best in last year’s competition as he lost to the current world number one Serbia’s legendary tennis star Novak Djokovic in the final with a score of 7-5, 6-3.

The results also means that Ruud will finish the year outside the top-10 in the ATP rankings.

The Oslo-born will not look back at 2023 with a lot of fond memories, especially in big tournaments.

The highlight of the year for Ruud will be his performance in the French Open where for the second year running, he played in the final of the competition.

However, once again he ended up on the losing side, this time to Djokovic who came out on top with a score of 7–6(7–1), 6–3, 7–5.
