 | Ruud on whether he`s tired of losing big finals: Not yet4-12-2022 |
Kasper Ruud answered if he was tired of losing big finals.
Today he will meet with Novak Djokovic in the final of the final ATP tournament. And earlier this season, he lost in the finals of the Masters in Miami, Roland Garros and the US Open.
Until you get bored. But, of course, it would be great for me and the future of my career to win such a final.
I know that a difficult task awaits me. Novak in the indoor hard final is one of the toughest opponents in tennis history.
I know that I need to come up with something that I haven`t been able to do against him yet, because I haven`t beaten him yet. You have to believe that I can win. It won`t be easy, of course, but I`ll do my best.
I always give my all, in every match. That`s probably why I don`t show a lot of emotion on the court - because I`m so focused on the game.
Of course, I know that tennis is fun. For many viewers, this is a show. But for me, the business side is probably more important. I want to win. If I focus on the show, I won`t be able to play as well as I want to.
Maybe that`s why sometimes I`m calmer than other players - because I`m so focused. For me, the most important thing is the business. In the final, I will have the same approach. Whatever happens, I will try to win as many points as possible, as many games as possible. And hopefully a match.
But I know it will be very, very difficult.
