He is not usually a player who speaks louder than the other, but Casper Ruud was slightly provoked in his last interview with Nothing Major Podcast. The Norwegian was pressed about the topic of balls and continuous complaints within the circuit, to which he responded firmly and holding nothing back.
"I'm tired of seeing players complain about the balls all the time, about the elbow, about not being able to produce power, about this ball suiting another player better… come on, just play. It makes no sense, many like to make a drama out of nothing," expressed Casper, making his stance on this controversy crystal clear.
