After beginning the season in dire form the Norwegian is determined to enjoy his showdown with Novak Djokovic
Moments after Casper Ruud completed his three-set demolition of Alexander Zverev in the French Open semi-finals to reach his third grand slam final of the past five majors, he had already cast his mind forward to what awaited him. Along with his joy and satisfaction after another fantastic achievement, Ruud allowed himself a sigh.
“Last year it was against Rafa [Nadal], this year it’s against Novak, so what can you say? It’s two of the toughest players in history,” he said. “I’ve got to be the underdog like today, playing without too many feelings, just try to enjoy.”
