Casper Ruud is into the semi-finals at the US Open 2022 and has a shot at moving up to No. 1 in the ATP rankings, following a run to the final at the French Open. The 23-year-old from Norway, parlayed what he called “a better start than I ever had before in a match” to a 6-1, 6-4, 7-6 (4) victory over 2021 Wimbledon runner-up Matteo Berrettini in the quarter-finals under a closed roof at Arthur Ashe Stadium on a rainy Monday.

With Medvedev gone, he will drop from No. 1 in the men’s rankings on Monday, and three players have a shot at replacing him: Ruud, Nadal and no. 3 Carlos Alcaraz.


“It’s still far away, I think, but of course it’s nice that it’s possible,” said Ruud.  “Casper has a little bit of motivation with that in mind,” father and coach Christian Ruud said, “because even when he was small, his ultimate goal was to be No. 1 in the world.”
