Casper Ruud won the 2024 edition of the Barcelona tournament (ATP 500) on Sunday, the biggest title of his career. The Norwegian brilliantly overcame Stefanos Tsitsipas in the final (7-5, 6-3), avenging his loss in Monte-Carlo a week earlier.

To celebrate this success, Ruud had to follow Catalan custom. Since 1991 (see our article on this subject), the winner of the tournament has jumped into the pool of the prestigious Barcelona club in the company of the ball boys and girls. The Norwegian therefore complied with the tradition with the greatest of pleasure (see video below).

Casper Ruud: "There's something special about it, that's for sure. Like an extra prize for being able to win. It's something you hope to do on Sunday in Barcelona."

Tsitsipas S • 5

Ruud C • 3

12e, 2835 points

34e, 1425 points

Well deserved and long time coming. 👍🏻💪🏻

Why didn't he take his shirt off like Rafa

Out of respect for him❤️

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
