Casper Ruud arrives at the Miami Masters 1000 eager to build confidence for the clay court season, his great specialty. Furthermore, this tournament is very special to him, as it marked the beginning of a historic year in his career. "I reached the final here in 2022. That's a great memory since it was my first big final in a Masters 1000. It gave me confidence for the clay season, and in fact, probably 2022 was the best year of my career. It all started in Miami, so hopefully, this year I can do the same," he stated in an interview with Tennis TV.
Moreover, he talked about his new role as a father and the tough loss against Carlos Alcaraz in Indian Wells. "There are very nice off-court things happening to me, but that has also led me to invest extra hours that would have been for training at another time. In Indian Wells, I played well in many matches, and in the second set against Alcaraz, but against him, you know that if you don't play to the line, he will arrive and punish you back. It was a tough match for me, but I hope to play well again in Miami."
