Casper Ruud was asked in the press conference prior to Roland Garros 2025 about how he had handled his tough loss against Jannik Sinner in Rome, and his response surprised everyone. "After that match, I took a few days off. I went to Norway, enjoyed the good weather, played golf, and practiced with some guys who don't play at Jannik's level, so I was able to score a few points," he said with a laugh before continuing.
"Yesterday I trained with Jannik here and we played a set. Within 15 minutes, he was leading 4-0. I thought this was already exaggerated, and then I was able to win some games. I don't know, I think he is not perceived as a clay specialist because he can play just as well on all surfaces without varying his tennis too much. The power he puts into his defensive shots is key to playing well on clay; I don't think he will lose too many matches on this surface," the Norwegian stated.
