The Russian is currently competing at the ATP 250 Adelaide International 1 to kickstart his 2023 season. In his second-round match, he was dominant against Miomir Kecmanovic and defeated him in straight sets 6-0, 6-3.
Other than his dominant performance, his unusual follow-through while hitting caught the eye of the fans. They hilariously called Medvedev’s attempt the ‘most iconic follow-through in tennis history.’ Casper Ruud too found the forehand unusual but accepted that it worked for the Russian during his matches and he was successful with it.
Ruud started his 2023 season and represented Team Norway at the 2023 United Cup. Despite his best efforts, he could not guide his nation out of the group which consisted of Italy and Brazil.
“It’s almost like the ATP Finals in a way” - Casper Ruud on the United Cup
In his post-match interview after his loss to Matteo Berrettini, Casper Ruud mentioned that he enjoyed his time in Brisbane for the United Cup and pointed out that the tournament shared similarities with the ATP Finals.
He revealed that he enjoyed playing in a team environment and mentioned that the sport always comes up with something new for the team events.
He stated that Norway had never reached the highest stages at the Davis Cup and claimed it was an opportunity to see the best players up close.
