PARIS: Paris is a city that holds plenty of good memories for Casper Ruud and the Norwegian is hoping his form will peak at the right time to give him a shot at the medals in the Olympics.
Having twice reached the French Open final, the 25-year-old said he feels very comfortable at the Roland Garros venue and that his preparations for the Paris Games have been going well. “Tennis is not a sport where you can typically choose when to hit your perfect form, but I feel that the days leading up to the Olympics now have been good,” he told reporters on Thursday.
“I have trained well at home, and the days here will also be important before it all starts on Saturday or Sunday.” A former world number two who is currently ranked eighth, Ruud withdrew from the Austrian Open in Kitzbuhel to focus on his Olympic hopes.
