"I don’t believe anything I read anymore": Casper Ruud gets fooled by parody account as tennis fans blame it on Holger Rune
ATP
Norwegian
tennis sensation Casper Ruud recently became the source of amusement for tennis
enthusiasts when he responded to a parody account on social media. The current
world No. 11 engaged with a post discussing a purported return of Christopher
Nolan as the director of "The Dark Knight Returns" and Christian Bale
reprising his role as Batman.
Intriguingly,
the 3-times Grand Slam finalist expressed skepticism regarding the authenticity
of the news, stating, "Is this true? I don’t believe anything I read
anymore but please be true," in response to the publication. Tennis fans
were quick to join in with humorous reactions to Ruud's uncertainty.
"I
don't believe everything I read anymore", and you just know that's
Holger's fault," some fan tweet read.
Tennis star
Casper Ruud, currently in his off-season, found himself at the center of
amusement after an amusing incident on social media. As he prepares for his
comeback at the United Cup, a mixed-gender tournament starting on Thursday,
December 28, Ruud will lead the Norwegian team alongside 24-year-old Malene
Helgo (world No. 541 in singles and 644 in doubles).
Despite a
less-than-ideal season that led to his exit from the top-10 in November for the
first time in 113 weeks, fans continue to closely follow Ruud's journey. The
Norwegian, with three Grand Slam finals since 2021, remains one of the
top-performing players in recent years, second only to Novak Djokovic in that
period and tied with Daniil Medvedev, though Ruud is yet to clinch a coveted
title.
Ruud's
unintentional error on social media garnered humorous responses from fans, with
one tweet playfully suggesting, "Casper would not last a day on tennis
twitter.”

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
