Monte-Carlo 2024: Casper Ruud’s Lady Following in Full Display as Cheeky Placards Take Over Monaco

The Monte-Carlo Masters is just hours away from giving the world their new champion. After the intense semi-final battle against Novak Djokovic, Casper Ruud positioned himself alongside athletes who do the impossible. While the 25-year-old became one of the few young names in the sport who recently defeated the Serb, immense fame and stardom are already on his way. His lady supporters are “Ruud-ing” for him!

The Norwegian tennis star is currently on top of the headlines as he is set to play the final match against Stefanos Tsitsipas. As he paved his way through some of the toughest competitors in the tennis scene, he not only got himself close to the title but also captivated the attention of fans.

Recently, the official X handle of the event shared a post featuring two gorgeous female fans holding up posters in support of the 25-year-old. One poster read, “I should be studying but I came to watch you Casper,” while the other said, “We are Ruud-ing for you.”

These messages reflect the increasing admiration for Ruud, not only because of his dominance on the court but also for his charm and appeal to fans. Ruud’s path to the finals came after a surprising victory over World No. 1 Novak Djokovic, which made him “the first Norwegian to defeat a World No. 1 in PIF ATP Rankings history (since 1973).”

Ruud defeated the Serb 6-4, 1-6, 6-4 in a gripping showdown, adding his name among the likes of Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, who have already gained victories over the World No. 1 before. However, his excitement after winning the third set was clearly visible in the post-victory speech.

Casper Ruud marks his win as ‘something he has never done’

It was quite obvious for Casper Ruud to be happy after taking down Djokovic in the semi-finals. While the match came to an even situation as the Serb managed to win the second set, gaining control back in the third one made his win even more adorable.

Reflecting on his historic win, Ruud expressed his excitement the ATPTour.com. “This is a day I will remember for a long time. Beating a World No. 1 is something I have never done and beating Novak is something I have never done. I am very, very happy,” World No. 10 stated of his win.

This victory establishes Ruud’s status as a rising star in the current tennis scene. As fans of all age groups seem to be adoring his charm already, it still remains to be seen if he will be able to keep up with their expectations.
