Tobias Laure reports from the ATP tournament in Munich
Casper Ruud can still remember exactly. French Open, Court Suzanne Lenglen, best weather, the whole family there – and on the other side of the net Roger Federer.
“It was an experience that I will never forget throughout my career,” said the Norwegian at a press conference in Munich about his only duel with the Swiss, which he lost in three sets in the 2019 season.

“I even feel a little sorry for professionals like David Ferrer or Richard Gasquet,” emphasizes the seventh in the world rankings. “They were great players, but when they were at their best they always met someone who was even better.”
Ruud: Play against Federer again…
However, even in his generation, it would be extremely tricky to win a Grand Slam event. “There are five or six extremely strong people. Just think of Daniil Medvedev, who has already celebrated a major triumph. Sascha Zverev is also constant at the highest level, as is Stefanos Tsitsipas,” emphasizes Ruud.
But he still has one wish in the direction of the Big 3: “I would like to compete against Federer again.”
