Casper Ruud is already resting in the fourth round of the Toronto 2025 Masters 1000, although he will have to improve some things if he wants to continue advancing in the draw. The Norwegian, a person with more sense of humor than it seems, joked on social media about an error made in his last match against Borges. In a forehand on the run, the Norwegian tried to hit a 'banana shot' in Nadal style, although the result could not have been more disastrous. "I think I'll need a quick trip to the Rafa Nadal Academy to perfect this shot...," tweeted Casper hours later, clearly nodding to the man who patented that shot, capable of producing true miracles from impossible positions.

I think I need to take a trip to @rnadalacademy to fine tune the forehand banana passing shot..🤔😰😅 https://t.co/lLWR2kJOiq
