Ruud casts doubt on his participation in the Australian Open for this surprising reason
Casper Ruud faces the start of the 2026 season with a very peculiar situation. The Norwegian, who is in New Zealand for the ATP 250 Auckland tournament, is awaiting the arrival of his first daughter, which could completely disrupt the beginning of his season. "Honestly, she could come at any moment. I hope I can stay for the rest of the tournament, but you never know. I could get a call and be on a flight back home. It's not a short trip, so I hope she holds on for a few more weeks so I can be there for the birth," Ruud commented. After the birth of their daughter, the Norwegian and his fiancée Maria will celebrate their wedding.
So the duration of Casper's stay down under will depend not only on his match results 👶
