Ruud's Fun Confession that Led Him to Win in Madrid: "I am the earthling here"
The Mutua Madrid Open 2025 witnessed a tremendous final between Casper Ruud and Jack Draper. It ended with a well-deserved victory for the Norwegian, marking the start of his collection of major titles. Equally captivating were his words to Sky Sports, his opponent's country's network, regarding his mindset during the challenging moments of the match, especially in the third set. "I just kept thinking: 'Here, I am the clay court player' (smiling). I have played more hours on clay than him. Obviously, he is very good, but this is 'my surface', and I had to prove it", Casper pointed out. And prove it he did, no doubt.
"I'm the clay court player here!"
