Casper Ruud Contemplates Australian Open Withdrawal After Recent Marriage

# Australian Open Star May Withdraw Due to New Marriage

**Casper Ruud, the three-time Grand Slam finalist, is contemplating stepping back from the Australian Open as he adjusts to married life.**

Casper Ruud, a prominent figure in tennis, is considering withdrawing from the upcoming Australian Open. His deliberation stems from his recent marriage to Maria, with both deciding to keep their union low-key for the time being. The couple has yet to celebrate publicly, as they have plans for a more extensive wedding event later.

His manager, Tina Falster, confirmed the couple's marriage, stating, "It is true that they have formally married, but outwardly they do not want attention to this as the actual wedding celebration will take place at a later date. Beyond this, we have no comment."

Ruud reflected on his commitment to tennis, acknowledging the balancing act between his career and personal life. He remarked, "But that's the way it goes. There's more to life than just tennis, but I'm going to be here for as long as I can and as long as Maria lets me."

The situation highlights the challenges faced by athletes who often juggle professional responsibilities alongside personal commitments.
