National representation

[edit]

Davis Cup

[edit]

He became part of the Norwegian Davis Cup team in 2015, and together with countryman Viktor Durasovic promoted Norway from Group Three Europe Zone to Group Two Europe/Africa Zone.[70]

In the 2016 Davis Cup, Ruud and Durasovic lost 3–2 to Lithuania in the first round.

They won the play-off against Barbados and thereby qualified for World Group I.

Playing style

[edit]

Casper Ruud is a clay-court specialist, such that he has found his highest success on that surface and won 11 out of his 12 titles on clay. He is primarily an offensive baseliner who hits with heavy topspin. His groundstroke strength is his forehand, which he hits with heavy topspin and serves as his best weapon, especially on clay. His backhand is his weaker wing, but consistent enough to help construct points. In 2023, Ruud's backhand saw a decline in power and accuracy, but he improved on it the following season.

Ruud possesses a powerful serve that can reach up to 193 km/h (120 mph). He often utilizes it to earn more free points, frequently using a one-two punch.

Ruud is praised for his calm on-court demeanor and lack of emotional outbursts.

Personal life

[edit]

Ruud is the son of former professional tennis player Christian Ruud[72] and Lele Ruud. He has two sisters, Caroline and Charlotte, and shares a passion for golf with his father.[73] He grew up in the Snarøya district of Bærum, with Rafael Nadal as his tennis idol.[74]

Ruud has been dating his girlfriend, Maria Galligani since 2018. The couple currently resides in Oslo. Maria attended Oslo Nye Høyskole from 2017 to 2020, where she graduated with a degree in psychology. In 2022, Maria received her master's degree in psychology from the University of Southern Denmark. She has also worked for a sports nutrition company. The couple shares a dog named Bajas since January 2021.[75]
