Even Casper Ruud has idolized the ‘King of the Clay’, while he rarely holds himself back from lauding him on various occasions. However, despite being one of Nadal’s biggest fans, the Norwegian tennis star recently had a different pick when it comes  to the ‘best-looking guy on tour.’

On top of his long list of achievements, Roger Federer’s elegance has earned him a slew of admirers on the tennis circuit. Now it looks like Ruud is one of them, as he recently hailed the Swiss maestro for his “aging like a fine wine” factor.

The former world No. 2 player was recently asked who he would name as the ‘best-looking guy’ on the men’s tour. In his honest response, Casper Ruud was singing the praises of the 20-time singles Grand Slam champion, Roger Federer. He said, “With Federer it’s a bit like “aging like a fine wine.” He looks elegant.”

Now that the Swiss tennis legend has put down his racket, Ruud also named his Bulgarian colleague Grigor Dimitrov as one of the best-looking guys among the active ATP players. He added, “But now that he doesn’t play anymore… Dimitrov also looks good so maybe he is the one among active players.”
