Things haven’t been going the way Emma Raducanu would have liked of late. After the highs of the US Open title victory, the British tennis sensation has suffered a massive downfall. Additionally, injuries have played a major role in affecting her career. She hasn’t played for eight months now after undergoing surgery on both her wrists and an ankle. As Raducanu looks to make a comeback next year, Casper Ruud gave his thoughts about the 21-year-old, which led to brutal reactions from fans.

Despite her absence, Raducanu has been quite popular in the tennis circuit. Many legends of the game and tennis pundits have spoken about her return to the sport. Here’s what Ruud said about her.

Casper Ruud speaks out about Emma Raducanu

During a recent interview, the reigning French Open finalist gave his thoughts about the women’s game. He picked out Raducanu, who he thought had a good chance of winning another major title. Further, he also went on to reveal her special qualities.

Talking about this, he said, “On the women’s side, is Emma fit again? Is she going to play Australia? She’s a potential to probably win another Slam I think, for sure. If she’s doing a good pre-season.” However, this was not all, as Ruud went on to get into the details while praising Raducanu

Ruud revealed that he felt that Raducanu’s game was explosive and her on-court movement stood out for him. Ruud thoroughly enjoyed Raducanu’s US Open victory in 2021. The British star won the tournament as a qualifier, without dropping a set.

However, Ruud’s comments on Raducanu didn’t go down well with the fans. As Raducanu was nowhere to be seen on the tennis court of late, talking about her chances of winning another Grand Slam seemed too far-fetched for the fans. As a result, it led to some brutal reactions.

What did fans say about Ruud’s comments?

As the Norwegian’s remarks on Raducanu went viral on social media, thousands of fans reacted to it. One of the fans said, “Really can’t see it. Can’t see her getting to the 2nd week nevermind a win. She has a good run at the US with a win over another qualifier in the final. That run of luck will never happen again imo. You need momentum & she’s too far behind now.”

Further, another fan urged Ruud to analyze his game, saying, “What about yourself? Win something big yourself.”

One of the Twitter users commented hilariously about Ruud and said, “Is he shopping for a girlfriend?”

Similarly, another fan didn’t like Ruud’s thoughts about Raducanu, saying, “Raducanu got all the boys including alacaraz horny.”

Lastly, one user mocked Ruud and said, “Casper so dumb. he just tryna be relevant by saying such outlandish stuff.”

While Emma Raducanu will look to recover from her injuries in time for the next season, Casper Ruud will look to overcome a trio of Grand Slam final losses and win a major title. It’ll be interesting to see how the two perform in the new tennis season.
