World No. 10 Norwegian tennis player Casper Ruud will drop to the 15th position in the ATP rankings next week after his quarterfinal exit at the ATP 500 tournament in Barcelona, Spain. This will be his lowest ranking since July 2021.
Ruud now faces the challenge of defending points from reaching the fourth round of the Madrid Masters, the second round of the Rome Masters, and the semifinal of Roland Garros 2024.
The 26-year-old Ruud is a former world No. 2, a finalist in three Grand Slam singles tournaments (French Open 2022 and 2023, US Open 2022), and a winner of 12 ATP singles titles.
