Casper Ruud has never hidden that grass is the surface that least suits his tennis. The Norwegian, three-time Grand Slam finalist and former world number two, approaches a new edition of Wimbledon with caution, but also with the feeling that the time has come to take a step forward in the only major title that still eludes him.

In statements to Tennis365, the current number 12 in the rankings explained his goals on the London grass and once again opened up about the unique way he prepares for this part of the season. "I have never gone beyond the second round, so we can start from there. Any result better than that would already be a success," he joked.

Ruud also explained why he continues to prioritize taking a break between Roland Garros and Wimbledon, a schedule he has maintained in recent seasons. "The clay season is very demanding. Going directly from Roland Garros to playing the warm-up tournaments and then Wimbledon would be detrimental for the rest of the season. I prefer taking a breather between Paris and Wimbledon, clearing my mind, and refocusing on both this tournament and the rest of the year."

Nevertheless, Ruud admits that each season he feels a greater motivation to achieve a good result on the London grass. "I am at an important stage in my career. I don't feel like time is running out, but every passing year, I want to try to achieve a great result here."

He even went a step further by revealing his long-term ultimate goal at Wimbledon. "Perhaps my long-term goal, even a life goal within my career, is to reach the second week of Wimbledon."

The journey will not be easy. The draw has set him up for a tough debut against the Polish Hubert Hurkacz, one of the most dangerous players on the grass circuit and a former tournament semi-finalist. A highly demanding test to see if Ruud can finally break his own barrier at the All England Club.
