Casper Ruud, a Norwegian professional tennis player, was born on December 22, 1998. Ruud is the highest ranked Norwegian tennis player in history thanks to his career ranking of No. 5 in singles, reached on June 13, 2022.
Eight of his nine ATP Tour singles victories — which he has won — have come on clay surfaces. At the 2022 French Open, Ruud is the first Norwegian to have won an ATP singles championship, advanced to a major final, advanced to a Masters 1000 final and reached the top 10 in the ATP rankings.
He has a career-high world No. 133 in doubles, which he reached after reaching the quarter-finals of the 2021 Wimbledon Championships.
He beat Henri Laaksonen, Alexander Bublik and Cameron Norrie to advance to his fourth Masters 1000 semi-final at the Miami Open.

He lost in straight sets to 18-year-old Carlos Alcaraz in the league match. After this result, Ruud rose to the peak of his career as world No. 7 on April 4, 2022.
Ruud was one of five players in the US Open draw who had a chance of becoming the world No. 1 player (the others being Medvedev, Tsitsipas, Nadal and Alcaraz).
He beat Kyle Edmund, Tim van Rijthoven and Tommy Paul to advance to the fourth round; their third-round match lasted nearly four and a half hours and five sets.
