(VIDEO) "I think it's my dog actually": Ruud sends crowd into stitches after incident during Bastad Open Final

Casper Ruud may have lost in the final of the Bastad Open to Andrey Rublev, but in many ways, he stole the show.

A dog started barking during his service motion weirdly and he sent the crowd into stitches saying: "I think it's my dog actually".

Albeit with a semi serious tone that it was actually his dog. They were interrupted for a moment before they continued.

But in the end Rublev won. He gave credit to Ruud post match.

"It is always great to win a title. At the end of the day, we have to lose almost every week, so this is one of two titles this year," said Rublev.

"It is a special feeling and the final was played in tough conditions, but I was lucky to have them. Casper hits with spin a lot, to play high and with this weather the ball did not really jump high and I think it helped me a bit. On top of that I played really well today."

But not only did the dog moment steal the show, the award ceremony was almost like a comedy sketch with Ruud being handed a million items and still attempting to clap while doing so.

A final to remember for the funniest of reasons. Watch the video below.
