Casper has now silenced all those who have attacked him for his style of play, in addition to being in full swing for the ATP Finals in Turin.

He just defeated Lloyd Harris in a comeback match. Now, he will begin the second round as the favourite over Argentinian Schwartzman.
He stated during a news conference that his achievements cannot be compared to those of Djokovic or Daniil Medvedev.
In 2021, the world No. 1 ATP won three Grand Slams and came near to winning the US Open.
The Russian won his maiden major and exacted vengeance for the loss he endured in the Australian Open final.
Casper Ruud’s season in 2021
“It’s a great feeling to be at the top of this ranking but I know that my titles are not worth those of Novak Djokovic or Daniil Medvedev, that they are not as prestigious as Grand Slam tournaments or Masters 1000.
“In fact at the start of the season, I thought to myself that it would be good to win a title in 2021 after the first in Argentina acquired in 2020.
“This is what I achieved in Geneva and then it all happened. is chained this summer on clay.
“This is also why my success in San Diego is important, but then again I know it won’t be playing again in October in California,” Casper Ruud said.
