The clay court season is here and how could it be otherwise, the most renowned tennis player is Rafa Nadal. Casper Ruud shared a pleasant chat with Álex Corretja for a Eurosport podcast in which they discussed different topics related to the world of tennis.

Ruud and Nadal’s options in Paris: “I wouldn’t be surprised if he comes back and wins for the 15th time”
For Ruud, if you have to face Rafa Nadal in the Los Mosqueteros tournament, you have to go “psyched up to play the best game of your life for four and a half hours.” The Norwegian tennis player comments that even if you play well if the Spaniard does too, the duel will take a long time and that is where the key to success on clay lies.

Ruud agrees with Corretja that on clay, even if you play great tennis against Rafa Nadal, it may not be up to you to win.
