Casper Ruud will seek to start the year in the best possible way at the United Cup 2026, aiming to display a higher level than last year in Grand Slam tournaments. Many wonder why top tennis players choose to kick off the season with this team competition, and the Norwegian is clear about it. "It's a fantastic initiative. It's really fun to spend time with compatriots on the team, and when you play so many individual events, competing for a week with a different format is great for the mind. It allows you to start with a good rhythm and play two matches at a high level of demand," explained Ruud, who will face De Miñaur and Mensik.
