Casper Ruud is known as an energetic person full of optimism, and that was the case this time at the press conference of the European team onthe Laver Cup media day. A few days ago, the Norwegian tennis player announced that he is expecting his first child with his fiance Maria Galligani.
Ruud is extremely motivated to achieve success with the European team, and his first challenge awaits him against Reilly Opelka, who is known as an equally high-quality opponent.
The journalists were interested in how much Ruud thinks the arrival of a child will change his life, especially when he starts traveling the world.
However, Ruud revealed that he has not thought about it too much, but is aware that special moments await him and that he is looking forward to his child.
