Ruud made his Laver Cup debut in Boston, and is the highest ranked Norwegian in ATP history, surpassing his father, Christian, who is now his coach. The former world No.1-ranked junior began his ascent up the rankings in 2017 and two years later won his first singles title at the 2020 Argentina Open.
