World No. 5 Casper Ruud has turned to golf for solace following his early exit from the Australian Open. Opting to skip the ATP 500 Rio de Janeiro Open, he will compete in a pro-am golf event in Vallarta before heading to the Mexican Open in Acapulco. Ruud, known for his golf enthusiasm, brings his clubs along during the tennis season in North America. He has expressed an eagerness to learn from fellow golfers, highlighting his serious yet curious approach to the sport he loves.
Having just arrived home after a disappointing second-round loss at the Australian Open in January, world No. 5 Casper Ruud needed a pick-me-up.
Ruud is skipping this week's ATP 500 Rio de Janeiro Open which is played on clay, his preferred surface to play in the Mexican Open.
Ruud, a tennis professional but golf obsessive, is in his element.
I'll try to remain calm, but I'm just a really curious golfer... I feel a little bit bad for them.
