Wimbledon, long considered the most prestigious tournament in the sport, has some of the world’s best players feeling “bad at tennis” and unprepared to win at the All England Club.
Casper Ruud, the three-time Grand Slam tournament finalist, took a nontraditional approach to getting ready for Wimbledon, which is widely considered the most prestigious tournament in tennis.
It included attending more concerts featuring his favorite singer, the Weeknd, than playing actual tennis matches on grass.
Unsurprisingly, Liam Broady, a 29-year-old journeyman from Britain who is ranked 142nd in the world, knocked Ruud out in the second round on Thursday.
