Ruud, before facing Munar: "I'm going to be here as long as my pregnant wife lets me"

Casper Ruud lived up to expectations and will face Jaume Munar, who staged an epic comeback, in the second round of the 2026 Australian Open. However, there is a possibility that the Norwegian may not play that match, but it doesn't depend on him, it depends on his wife. Maria, the tennis player's wife, is about to give birth to their child. Ruud made it clear that if his wife goes into labor, he would take the first flight back to Norway. Today, after his victory over Mattia Bellucci, he reiterated: "I'm going to be here for as long as Maria (his pregnant wife) lets me."
