Casper Ruud is currently in London for the Ultimate Tennis Showdown exhibition event. While there, the Norwegian got to talking about his favorite football club and the tennis star had an unexpected reaction to the crowd booing his choice.

On the tennis courts, Ruud enjoyed a strong 2025 season. Early in the year, the 26-year-old registered a runners-up finish at the Dallas Open, an ATP 500 event. He followed this up with a second place finish at the ATP Masters 1000 event in Madrid and a title finish at the BNP Paribas Nordic Open in October.

Now, Casper Ruud is making the most of his off-season and he is currently in London for an exhibition tournament. While there, the tennis star revealed to the UTS audience that his favorite football club was Liverpool and he hilariously joined them when they began to boo him. Watch a video of the moment below:

When the era of the Big Three was coming to a close, Casper Ruud was one of the many tennis stars who was hoping to make it to the top. However, these plans were thwarted by the arrival of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, who have gone on to win all the Grand Slam titles over the last two years.

Speaking about their game to Tennis365, Ruud heaped praise on both Alcaraz and Sinner, saying,

“Jannik could always rip the ball, but one area he has taken to the next level is his movement. You see him sliding, defending anywhere on the court. The same with Carlos and I feel they defend in a way that Novak did.”

He went on add that it was sometimes ‘annoying' how good the duo had become, explaining,

“You feel like you have them on the defence and in one shot, they are on the offensive again. It has been really, really impressive and at times a little bit annoying how good they have become, but you just have to accept it and we just have to do better to beat them.”

Casper Ruud is currently in action at the Ultimate Tennis Showdown exhibition event in London. The Norwegian began his campaign there by defeating Francisco Cerundolo and followed this up with wins over David Goffin and Ugo Humbert. He will now take on Andrey Rublev for his semifinals match.
