"I don’t believe anything I read anymore": Casper Ruud gets fooled by parody account as tennis fans blame it on Holger Rune

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.”
