Ruud takes aim at sealing Grand Slam: "The No.1 position is something you can have temporarily"

Casper Ruud has a clear idea of what he wants to achieve in his career and he wants to become a grand slam champion before becoming world number one.

Ruud played in two grand slam finals so far and he lost both. He'd like to win one day and it's a bigger achievement for him than becoming number which he was pretty close to as well. He explained that during his stay in Abu Dhabi at the Mubadala Tennis Championship saying that the grand slam stays with you forever:

"It has to be to win a Grand Slam for me. The Grand Slam trophy is something you can keep forever. Whilst the No.1 position is something you can have temporarily but you can not have it forever. Ok, you can have the career-high No.1 ranking forever but to me, the biggest goal for me and many other players is to try to win a Grand Slam."
