Casper Ruud was speaking at a press conference about the 2024 ATP Finals regarding Rafa Nadal's imminent withdrawal from the 2024 Davis Cup: "I won't go. I've played and watched enough tennis throughout the year, so... I'll probably watch it on TV, but hopefully in a beach, calm, relaxed setting. A match that really showed me clearly what Rafa means was during Roland Garros this year, there were many players who came to watch the Rafa-Zverev match. Normally you don't have Swiatek, Novak, Carlos, all coming out to watch the first round of a Grand Slam, but when it's Rafa, it's different. I was caught a little by surprise that he announced it because maybe I was thinking he would try once more on clay next year. At the same time, I know he has been struggling with a lot of pain and injuries. It also depresses you mentally. At some point, you let it go."
