Davis Cup – Casper Ruud wants world ranking points for prestige tournament: “Would be fair”

Ruud explained: “It’s great for our country but it would be great if that had an impact on the rankings as well. We’re facing strong opponents who we would normally have scored points against if we’d faced them in any other circumstances. “

Norway meets Kazakhstan with Ruud in the preliminary round in Oslo. The winner qualifies for the final tournament in autumn.

The 23-year-old received approval from the Norwegian Eurosport expert Ola Bentzen: “I think that the Davis Cup has moved in the wrong direction in recent years,” said the 43-year-old: “For the prestige it would be smarter awarding points again so that the best players prioritize the tournament.”
