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.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.
Given Casper Ruud's unexpectedly strong results at the beginning of this season all he has to do is extend his dangerous play style.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.
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.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
And where you got that information that he has better killer instinct now. Any evidence you have.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.
Zverev, Alcaraz, and sinner have his number.
Absolutely, Ruud has zero pace or shotmaking that could win a slam.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.

Yeah, Rafa is no mas.Rafa lost to Zverev in straight sets in the first round sir.
Yeah, it's untestable that Nadal could eat a 16'' XL pizze, but he's very likely to do it.Untestable.
How is that a bad thing?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.

We can test it bestieUntestable.
Casper Ruud is as inevitable as children getting gifts under the tree at Christmas timeI, too, believe in Santa
Casper Ruud is the Norweigan tennis sensation that is a clay GOD. He will win the FO in 2025. Please discuss.

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.I love a bold pick, but I think he needs to play someone other than Alcaraz in the final.
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

Djokovic thrashed him even worse than Nadal.
Ruud need to avoid Nole as well.
Yes another rg would be a surprise at this point. We will thank Casper the friendly ghost.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.
I wish lol
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.Casper Ruud is the Norweigan tennis sensation that is a clay GOD. He will win the FO in 2025. Please discuss.
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.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
If Gaudio won RG, Ruud deserves it more.
