Is the long-running animosity between Casper Ruud and Holger Rune coming to an end within their courtroom drama? It’s been two years since both of them confronted each other in a tense quarterfinal clash and grabbed headlines in the wake of a quick handshake. But the biggest question is: after so many years, and after putting up the game of criticism for so long, is the cold war between them over?

Recently, as both tennis players faced each other at the Mexican Open semi-finals, Ruud made it to the finals while the 20-year-old faced defeat. Interestingly, Rune was seen attending the final clash, igniting fires regarding whether the war between them was finally over or not.

Holger Rune’s gesture hints at an end to his two-year-long rivalry with Casper Ruud

Just two years ago, in their 59th match, both tennis players got into an argument with a simple shake of the head after a quarter-final clash at the 2022 French Open. The quick handshake and the Norwegian tennis player’s head nod created a lot of chaos, in such a way that they even started putting their perspective on the feud on social media.

Recently, many months after the incident and several clashes on the court, both of them came face-to-face at the Mexican Open semi-finals. While the Danish tennis player faced defeat in the match, leaving his feud aside, he was there to attend the finals, in which Ruud was playing.
