Casper Ruud wished his sister Charlotte after winning the Barcelona Open 2024 title
After defeating Stefanos Tsitsipas 7-5, 6-3, Casper Ruud won the Barcelona Open title last year. In his winning speech, Ruud wished his sister Charlotte a happy 18th birthday.
"I'm not sure it's the right thing to do, but actually, it's my sister's birthday today, so I just wanna wish her a birthday back in Norway. She's 18, so it's a big day. Happy birthday Charlotte and I'll see you in a few days, so thank you," Casper Ruud said.
Charlotte later shared Casper's achievement on her Instagram Story and wrote:
"Coolest birthday present"
Caroline also shared Casper's achievement on her Instagram Story and added:
"My clever brother, congratulations" (translated from Norwegian)
This year, however, Casper fell short in the Barcelona Open. The second seed and defending champion got the better of Daniel Galan in his campaign opener 6-4, 6-3 before getting the better of Hamad Medjedovic 7-5, 7-5. In the quarterfinals, sixth seed Holger Rune was too strong for Ruud as the Dane won 6-4, 6-2.
Rune went on to defeat Karen Khachanov 6-3, 6-2 in the semifinals and top seed Carlos Alcaraz 7-6(6), 6-2 in the final to win the ATP 500 title.
Up next for Ruud is the Masters 1000 in Madrid. As the 14th seed, the Norwegian will receive a bye in the first round and face the winner of Roman Safiullin vs. Arthur Rinderknech in the second round.
