We reveal the identities of the men and women who are most likely to win a Grand Slam for the first time in their career this 2025.
Casper Ruud
Spectacular images have been left to us by the match between Poland and Norway in the United Cup 2025. Just as it happened last year against Lorenzo Musetti, Iga Swiatek once again demonstrated her tremendous ball weight in mixed doubles, holding on and winning an exchange from the back of the court against Casper Ruud. Iga was once again the key, overwhelming Malene Helgo in her singles match and teaming up with Jan Zielinski to secure the decisive point in mixed doubles (defeating Ruud/Eikeri by 6-3, 0-6, 10-8). Earlier on, Casper had kept the Nordic team alive after easily beating a Hubert Hurkacz who has made all sorts of changes (coach, clothing brand, and racket, from Yonex to Wilson) but couldn't start 2025 with a victory.

We delve deeply into the most attractive aspects of the United Cup 2025, an event that will take place from December 27 to January 5.
It is becoming increasingly common to see how some of the best professional tennis players establish their residence in tax havens in order to avoid paying as many taxes in their country of origin. In recent weeks, there had been speculation from Norway that Casper Ruud could leave Norway, where nearly 40% of earnings are taxed, but he has not denied it. "I have chosen to stay here and pay taxes like any other Norwegian. Regardless of the government in power, I am going to stay," he stated in VG.

The Norwegian makes his goals clear for the next season: "Last season was good, but I could have done better".
We review which players are in the best position to attempt the assault on one of the most important tournaments of the year.
Casper Ruud and Holger Rune faced off in 'The Nordic Battle', a series of two back-and-forth exhibition matches that would determine a single champion. Ruud won the first encounter in Norway, but now Rune has been able to get his revenge by winning in Denmark with a score of 6-4 6-2. Thus, with a technical tie, everything was decided in a super tie-break from which the Dane emerged victorious by 10-6. Therefore, Holger Rune takes this entertaining 'Nordic Battle' that brought together many fans in both events.

Casper Ruud is as gentlemanly and generous off the court as he is on it. The Norwegian had some "issues" a few months ago when he complained about the rising taxes in his country, sparking a broad social debate and some critical voices. Therefore, during the exhibition he played with Holger Run, Casper lent him a hand, jokingly, when the Dane was asked about taxes and whether it is difficult to be a resident of Denmark due to the high figures. "It's better that you don't answer that, I think you shouldn't reply", Ruud interrupted him before he could take the mic, eliciting laughter from those present.

Happy times are running for Casper Ruud, and not only in the world of tennis. At 25 years old, the Norwegian has decided to formalize his relationship with Maria Galligani, his partner since 2018. This young Norwegian of Italian descent, graduated in psychology and working for a company related to sports nutrition, is a fundamental support for Ruud, becoming more and more common in his box during the most important tournaments of the calendar. They announced their engagement with a bucolic photo session on a beach.
