Casper Ruud, a 26-year-old Norwegian player, is currently ranked number 6 in the world. He achieved a career-high ranking of number 2. In the 2025 season, he has a win-loss record of 10-3, with a runner-up finish at the Dallas tournament and reaching the final in Miami in 2022.

He has several notable achievements, including being the first Norwegian to win an ATP Tour title, play at the Nitto ATP Finals, reach a Grand Slam final, and reach an ATP Masters 1000 final. Ruud had an outstanding performance in July 2021, winning three clay-court titles consecutively. He is known for his success on clay courts, leading the ATP Tour in clay-court wins, finals, and titles since the start of the 2020 season. Ruud also achieved a significant milestone by defeating Novak Djokovic, the world number 1 at the time, on his way to the final of the 2024 ATP Masters 1000 Monte-Carlo. However, it is worth noting that Ruud has been struggling in ATP Masters 1000 matches recently, as he looks for his first victory since defeating Duckworth in Montreal in August.

He had an impressive junior career, winning the Orange Bowl in 2015 and finishing the year as the world number 1 junior.

In their upcoming match in Miami, Kecmanovic aims to record his first top 10 win since defeating Ruud himself at the ATP Masters 1000 Rome in May last year.
