Norway’s Casper Ruud declared Wednesday that the world number one ranking could be his as early as the Australian Open in January. The 24-year-old had a chance to top the rankings when he took on Carlos Alcaraz in the US Open final this year, but the Spanish teenager won in four sets to take the title and with it the number one spot.
Ruud said a good run for him at the Australian Open could be enough to become number one. “If there is maybe one time that it could happen again, it’s actually in the near future,” the world number three said ahead of the inaugural United Cup mixed-teams tournament.
“If I have a good trip I can be in a position (to become number one) again.”. This highly anticipated tournament is a great betting opportunity.
