Tennis Ruud has taken inspiration from Rune and is exuberant again

[Impetus]

I admit it... I would never ever use the word exuberant about Ruud's game. Like not in a million year. Maybe a million and two years. I used Google translate!

But I do like that he tries to apply more aggression in his game:

It's in Danish. I hope that's okay:

Ruud har hentet inspiration hos Rune og sprudler på ny

Norske Casper Ruud nyder at følge med i Holger Runes udvikling.

Edit: can an admin remove the word tennis in the headline, please?

SABR works for his name (and his game) these days!

Nice little article

Doesn’t Ruud hate him?

Nah. I think hate is a very strong word.

When Rune came on the tour Ruud and his team exploited Rune's inmaturity and poked him before the match. Rune lost his nerves big time and showed he's a brat and a sore loser.

Since then their teams talked and agreed to behave. After all Norway and Denmark share language, culture and we used to be one country. Like Ruud says in the article It's the first time our countries have a top ten player at the same time.

Ok that makes sense. I just know in their first meeting in a grand slam (RG 22?) Rune gave a very cold handshake and then his mother accused Ruud of yelling at him or something in the locker room. It’s good that they aren’t arguing anymore lol.

It was first class drama.

Rune played an awful match and didn't want to say properly thank you for the match. Ruud was very condescending and shook his head at Rune.

Rune then accused Ruud for shouting into his face at the locker room after the match and Rune's mom confirmed the story. Ruud and his staff said nothing of the sort happened. They did admit they poked at Rune before the match to get under his skin. With great success I might add. Rune played an awful match and has never really found his game against Ruud.

I think Rune and his mom made up the story about the yelling in the locker room, but It's pure speculation from my side.
