Casper Ruud has announced his withdrawal from Wimbledon after failing to recover from a knee injury he picked up during Roland Garros. The Norwegian star, known for his powerful baseline game and consistent performance on clay, had been hopeful for a full recovery but ultimately made the decision to prioritize his long-term health.
The injury occurred during the grueling matches of the French Open, where Ruud showed incredible resilience despite visible discomfort. After assessing the condition with his medical team, it became clear that he would not be fit in time for the grass-court Grand Slam.
While grass has never been Ruud’s strongest surface, his continued progress and dedication have made him a player to watch regardless of the stage. His decision to step back reflects a growing awareness among athletes about the importance of recovery and sustainable performance at the highest levels of the sport.
