Casper the friendly ghost.
That's OK, a nice second place finish. I mean a nice second place Norwegian.Sadly Ruud, then watch him lie down v Alcaraz and lose in 3 easy sets
Well, Djokovic is pleased too.As a Norwegian, I'm hoping for Ruud, although I think Rune is a more interesting player overall.
Haha, Darth Vader Theme![]()
Is he paying off Alcaraz?I said this before: Djokovic vs Ruud French Open 2023 Final coming up.
Clay, clay.If you are sasha,,, you gotta love you chances now to get to the final

You've sold the farm.Congratulations Zverev on reaching the Roland Garros final!!!![]()
Wait until nanobots gets wiped by tiny.This is actually more of a beat down than sissy pants vs tiny
Remove the 1st Set,
Rune had 43 winners, 29 unforced errors.
Ruud had 30 winners, 19 unforced errors.
That's a great shot in the arm!A COVID vax certificate.
Your a Ted Lasso fan, correct?Rune looking good, will lose in straights but win the USO
You have to take him on a tour of South America.Honestly it looks like it's easy to get into Ruud's head.
Articulate?Rune is an exceptional player, I hope he can put all of that energy used being an a*****e into his tennis.
But that’s OK tho, no?He's not very friendly to Rune
Right winner in the end. Curious to hear Rune's take on the first two.
4th was anyone's game, but Ruud stepped up, came much more to the net and got hos forehand with more authority
Blnt Rune. Hoping for Ruud in the final
Curious to hear Rune's take on the first two.
In fairness, so will everyone else. The difference is, Holger was naive enough to announce it.Holger will still be chasing Nadal's RG record when he's 65 y/o.
Lol. You do know he lost 2 out of 3 sets if we look away from the first?
I can understand if Casper's game isn't everyone's cup of tea, but just like his mentor, it's a game style that draws out errors, both forced and unforced. The thing is, that a lot of the errors categorized as unforced are in fact a result of prolonged rallies hitting the ball way out of one's comfort zone. Thinking these stats show that Rune is the better player and Casper just got lucky, is pretty mind boggling.
Hey, if you want to laugh while the world burns, have at it. If you think Idiocracy looks like a good future to live in, enjoy it.That's fine you don't like it, but it won't change the fact that a LOT of language is used colloquially - by everyone. And I agree it can be a problem if people aren't on the same page as to the specific colloquialism. But sometimes they are. Words do have meaning for a reason - to communicate ideas clearly. It's not uncommon - at all - for colloquial language to communicate an idea clearly. And again, that's not to deny that there are times when it doesn't communicate ideas clearly because not everyone in a community or other spaces is on the same page.
Well, unlike Sevilla, they really did get the result gifted from the referee.West Ham win the conference league FFS lol
Never watching football again
He should forget about Nadal and RG altogether and shift his focus to Wimbledon and the US Open. His groundstrokes, serve and net skills will help him greatly at those events. On clay I feel like too many of his peers hit way heavier than he does.Holger will still be chasing Nadal's RG record when he's 65 y/o.

Of courseYour a Ted Lasso fan, correct?
Holger please, time to end this joke. Such a parasite doesn't deserve a place in the semifinalsCasper please, time to end this joke. Such a cheat doesn't deserve a place in the semifinals.
Ruud to roast his pigeon in 4.
Rune to roast his pigeon in 4
Not everyone underrates Ruud on here. I’ve been saying he is a strong player for a while now.TTW take:
Rune - amazing, next big thing, gonna win, etc (nearly gets knocked out to journeyman, gets mauled for 2 sets by Ruud)
Ruud - fraud, hopeless, overachiever, vulture (on the cusp of making 3 of the last 5 slam finals, made WTF final).
Casper Ruud - future Slam winner who will make some noise next year.
Ruud is always under-rated on this forum. He has one of the best FHs on tour and just made two Slam finals. I would make a Tier 2 with Medvedev, Zverev, Tsitsipas and Ruud. Others are Tier 3 and I would add Hurkacz, Berrettini and Fritz to this tier.
If I had to trust one of them to win a match where the outcome mattered to me and the surface is unknown, I would pick Ruud. So, I consider him better as a tennis player.
He is under-rated on TTW because he lost to Nadal easily in the FO final and praises Nadal so much which rubs the fans of Nadal’s rivals the wrong way. If you watch him play live, he moves very well with great footwork and he has monster topspin on his shots. Kyrgios has no chance against him on clay while Ruud will lose on grass. On hard courts, I would take Ruud over Kyrgios because you will get better effort more consistently from Ruud.
Ruud is a very good player who deserves his ranking and will continue to do well in big tournaments including winning some in the future. His movement is very good and he has monster topspin which is particularly good on slow courts. I think if he starts hitting a bit harder in terms of shot speed, he is going to be even better. Hope he gets a coach who pushes him to be more aggressive.
Fans of Djokovic and Federer make up 2/3rds of the posters here and they don’t like Ruud because he is such a big Nadal fan and also somewhat of a clay court oriented player.
Good.Not everyone underrates Ruud on here. I’ve been saying he is a strong player for a while now.
