Casper Ruud gave a nice interview to the site We Are Tennis in which he talks more about his personal life than his life as a tennis player. A passage is notably devoted to his girlfriend, Maria, whom he has known since a young age.
“We met before I reached the level I am now, so things have changed for her too, and it hasn't always been easy. There are more things in my life that I need to take care of now than when we met. So when you're with your girlfriend, your partner, your fiancée, an athlete's wife, you have to be priority number 3, 4, 5, even some days because there are a lot of other things that I must do first. It's tennis, it's the treatment, it's the media, it's maybe meeting a sponsor. That's a lot to do before you have time for your partner. So she's been very, very patient and very effective with these things, and in terms of social media and the way she behaves, she doesn't want that. She wants to be herself, to control her own life and especially her personal life. I'm happy she found this path. »
