Norwegian world number three in tennis Casper Ruud returns to the ATP tournament in Båstad this summer. Dane Holger Rune, on the other hand, declines.
In 2021, Ruud won the entire tournament and in 2022 he geared up by reaching the finals of both the French Championships and the US Open. Rune lost the final in Monte Carlo at the weekend to Russian world number six Andrei Rubyov. "He's really hot, but he's made the decision not to play. This is disappointing for us," says Christer Hult.
