Norway’s Casper Ruud has withdrawn from Wimbledon 2025 as he could not recover in time from a knee injury, his management said on Saturday.
The world No. 16 and two-time Roland Garros finalist suffered a second-round exit at the clay-court major last month, losing to unseeded Nuno Borges from Portugal.
Ruud’s performance in Wimbledon
Tournament | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 | W-L | Win % |
Singles | A | Q1 | R1 | NH | R1 | R2 | R2 | R2 | Out | 3-5 | 38% |
Doubles | NA | NA | R1 | NH | QF | R2 | R2 | R1 | Out | 5-4 | 56% |
Afterwards, he said he had been struggling with his knee for quite some time and he has remained out of action on the men’s tour since, withdrawing from Mallorca Open this month.
“He’s back on the court, and things are going well, but it looks like playing best-of-five sets is unfortunately a bit too soon. Gstaad will be next for Casper now,” manager Tina Falster told NTB.
Ruud’s best performance at Wimbledon is three second-round appearances.
Wimbledon starts on June 30, while the Swiss Open in Gstaad begins on July 14.
