Casper Ruud Chats with Serena Williams About Tennis and Life
Casper Ruud: Hey Serena, thanks for sitting down with me today! How’s life off the court treating you?
Serena Williams: Hey Casper! It’s been amazing, honestly. I’ve been spending a lot of time with my daughter and working on my business ventures. How about you? How’s the tour been?
Casper Ruud: It’s been a rollercoaster, really. The grind can be intense, but I try to enjoy every moment. I always think about how you balanced everything so well, especially with all your grand slams AND personal life. What’s your secret?
Serena Williams: Oh, there’s no secret formula. It’s all about staying passionate and grounded. I think prioritizing helps a lot, whether it’s family or tennis. So, speaking of the grind, what’s your favorite way to unwind after a tough match?
Casper Ruud: For me, it’s definitely hitting the golf course. There’s something about the serenity of golf that helps me relax and reset. Plus, it keeps me competitive! Do you have any hidden hobbies?
Serena Williams: Oh, I totally get the golf thing—it’s a great mental game! As for me, I love fashion and design. It’s fun and creative, and it feels so different from the intensity of tennis. What’s the craziest thing a fan has ever asked you?
Casper Ruud: Haha, there have been a few wild ones! But one that stands out is a fan asking for my shoe right after a match. I was like, “You want my sweaty shoe? Are you sure?” How about you? Your fans are pretty passionate too!
Serena Williams: Oh, definitely. I’ve had fans ask for my wristbands, hair ties—even once someone wanted to trade shoes. But it’s all part of the fun, right? It shows how much they care. So, any upcoming matches you’re particularly excited about?
Casper Ruud: I’m really looking forward to the clay season. There’s something special about playing on clay, and it’s where I feel most at home. What about you—any tips for dominating on clay courts?
Serena Williams: Ah, clay! It’s all about patience and endurance. Keep those rallies long and stay consistent. Trust your training and don’t rush for the winner. And remember—slide like you’re dancing! How do you stay motivated during those long, grueling matches?
Casper Ruud: I keep reminding myself of the bigger picture—those early mornings and tough training sessions all lead up to this. Plus, the support from my team and the fans really helps keep my spirits high. Any last advice for up-and-coming players like myself?
Serena Williams: Just stay true to yourself and never lose that passion. Tennis is an incredible journey, and every setback is a lesson. Keep dreaming big, Casper—you’re doing amazing things already!
Casper Ruud: Thanks, Serena! Always inspiring to hear from a legend like you. Let’s catch up again soon!
