In the highly competitive world of tennis, youngsters are quickly rising in the ranks and are seeing themselves in the deep stages of the tournament. However, securing a place in a Grand Slam final is always on the bucket list of the player. Casper Ruud, the Norwegian tennis player has been on the rise for a while but can he win a Grand Slam? This is a question that tennis enthusiasts have been asking.

In a recent interview, Tommy Haas, explains the aspect of uncertainty in the game of tennis.“Players who earn a lot of money know that their career is not forever and that it can end quickly in the event of an injury. Take Casper Ruud: he toured South America with Nadal during the pre‐season period after having a great 2022 season. I don’t think he can do that one more year, but of course, Casper perhaps wondering if he will ever set foot in another Grand Slam final.” said Haas in an interview with Tennis magazine.
