"Casper has won Twitter, this is it" - Tennis fans delighted by Casper Ruud's revelation about screaming incident with Holger Rune

Casper Ruud divulged that his alleged scream at Holger Rune during the 2022 French Open was false. He "disappointed" fans by stating that he had not screamed at the Dane in the locker room after the match.

Ruud and Rune clashed in the quarterfinals of the French Open last year. The Norwegian was annoyed by the antics of the teenager throughout the match. At one point, he advised the World No. 10 to "grow up." However, after the encounter, the Dane stated that Ruud had taunted and screamed at him in the locker room upon registering the victory.

There has been several speculations regarding the incident on whether Ruud had yelled at the young player. In an aim to put an end to the highly debated controversy between the two players, Ruud conveyed in a Q&A session with fans on social media that he did not scream.

"Sorry to disappoint but NOOOOOOOOO," he wrote in his tweet, replying to a question about whether he had yelled at the Dane.
