Casper Ruud Joins The Pod, Playing Rafael Nadal and Not Making World No. 1 | EP 13

Update: 2024-10-18

Description

With the news of Rafael Nadal's retirement, Jack, Sam, Stevie, and John reflect on the Spaniard's incredible legacy and share their memories on what it's like facing off against one of the GOATs.

The boys welcome fellow non-major winner, World No. 8 and 3-time Grand Slam finalist Casper Ruud to the podcast. Casper discusses competing for a spot in this year's ATP Finals, playing against Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal in Grand Slam finals and THAT Netflix moment in the French Open tunnel. The boys quiz him on his Norwegian celebrity status, rate his favorite American fast food spots, and and hear why he’s glad he never became World No. 1, despite being just one point away.
