I believe Casper Ruud will win Rolland Garros in 2025.

Bottom rung of contenders. I think he can and David Ferrer could.

Doesn't mean he would be number 1 favorite at all but he is good enough to win one time.

I believe that you are severely underestimating his chances. I really do think he could do what David Ferrer's non-driving forehand and backhand couldn't.

Given Casper Ruud's unexpectedly strong results at the beginning of this season all he has to do is extend his dangerous play style.
 
Im sure you dont think such. Just started the thread to ignite some responses.

Casper is a decent guy..one of the best behaved and he always plays his best at RG. But was never in chance of actually wining it and doesnt look too
He's been in 2 finals and now he has a better killer instinct in high-level or important matches. I genuinely stand by this opinion.

And where you got that information that he has better killer instinct now. Any evidence you have.
After two finals, he lost in semi this year. Not a good sign
 
Rafael Nadal could come back from retirement, eat a 16'' XL Sicilian pizza, drink two cans of beer, jump to the court immediately after the feast, and nothing would change: he'd still destroy Casper Ruud in a hypothetical but plausible RG match.

Absolutely, Ruud has zero pace or shotmaking that could win a slam.

Rafa lost to Zverev in straight sets in the first round sir.

Rafael Nadal is retired
 
I wouldn't be surprised if Ruud made another RG final and a few more SF/QF in his career but you best bet whoever he plays in the final will likely be more cutthroat than Casper, unfortunately. He seems really content with life, which is nice when you compare an elite sportsman's deal in a well paying sport versus your average citizen but I think that makes him lack the venom get a GS championship W.
 
Whenever someone makes a thread about Ruud, I feel it's important to remind everyone that he was one match away from being world number 1 without (at that point) a title above a 250.

And the fact that he didn't let's me hold on to hope that there is a modicum of justice in the world.
 
I love a bold pick, but I think he needs to play someone other than Alcaraz in the final.
I remember Diego wagged his tounge after 2021 thrashing by Nadal. Saying why I am always in his half. Next time I want to be in Djokovic's half.

Djokovic thrashed him even worse than Nadal.

Ruud need to avoid Nole as well.

I would pay money to see Ruud and Novak at Roland Garros. Not a lot of money, but I think Djokovic fans might be in for a surprise.

Bull had this title wrapped up long ago. It will be at least 2040 before anyone else even has a small chance to win a point against him. The only way that could change is if They start banning people again.
 
Casper Ruud is the Norweigan tennis sensation that is a clay GOD. He will win the FO in 2025. Please discuss.
Needs Alcaraz and Sinner out the event. Ruud v Zverev is a slam final will make USOO 2020final look like the highest standard tennis match of all time if it happened.
 
Ruud can absolutely win if he doesn't have to go through Novak, Carlos, Zverev and maybe Sinner as well. He needs the draw's help but he can win it
Can't see Sinner being the favorite vs Ruud on clay unless he improves a lot next year. And Djokovic is gonna be 38 next year. Alcaraz is really the only guy he can't beat there.
