Casper Ruud, the Norwegian tennis player who has been one of the most outstanding figures of the ATP circuit in recent years, achieved a milestone in his career last weekend by winning his first title in the Masters 1000 in Madrid. However, Ruud’s great triumph was not only on the court, but also outside it, where he surprised the entire world with an unexpected gesture.
After winning the title, Ruud went to La Tribuna, where his fiancee, Maria, expected excitedly. With a radiant smile, the Norwegian tennis player expressed words that will be recorded in the history of tennis: “I cannot do that without you.” These words not only demonstrated Ruud’s thanks and love towards Maria, but also marked the beginning of a new stage in her personal life.

With a gesture that few were expected, Ruud knelt in front of Maria and made a marriage proposal in an emotional act that left everyone out of breath. “Would you marry me?” They were the eight magical words that resonated in the air and that made the stadium explode in applause.
The proposal was a moment that combined the emotion of a professional achievement with the beauty of a personal commitment. Maria, visibly moved, did not hesitate to say “yes”, while the public, which already celebrated Ruud’s victory, joined the joy with cheers and applause.
This gesture, in addition to being a reflection of the deep relationship that Ruud maintains with Maria, also adds a human and sentimental touch to her sports success. Over the years, Ruud has proven to be a fierce competitor on the court, but this delicate and full gesture reminds us that, behind each great champion, there is a person who values relationships and unconditional support.

Without a doubt, this moment in Madrid will not only be remembered as Ruud’s victory in one of the most prestigious tournaments in the world, but as a symbol that love and success can go hand in hand.
