Casper Ruud is not valued as he deserves by a significant part of the general public, and perhaps when he finishes his career and we review his data unemotionally, we will realize the magnitude of the player that the Norwegian is. At 27 years old, he has secured a full set of quarter-finals in all Masters 1000 by reaching this round in Shanghai.

This is irrefutable proof of his versatility, consistency, and reliability over many years. Some have trivialized his tennis, reducing it to that of a clay court specialist, but he has repeatedly shown his ability to play at a high level on hard courts. Three-time Grand Slam finalist, Masters 1000 champion, and world number 2, achieving this full set of quarter-finals in this category of events is quite prestigious.

So much so that only 11 active players have achieved it. It is not easy to complete a professional career having been competitive in all the major stages of the calendar. In fact, regarding Grand Slams, the Norwegian has not reached the quarter-finals in Australia or Wimbledon, something that seems difficult to resolve in the case of the British tournament.

As for the Masters 1000, he has only failed to reach the semifinals in Indian Wells, Cincinnati, Shanghai, and Paris. He will try to do so in the Chinese event, which means he would need to defeat Rafael Jódar next Friday.
