I just give myself a chance to be back on court in two days. “Please! No! No! No! The ball is touching the line. The ball is touching the line!

Casper Ruud, who is into his first Grand Slam semi-final at Roland Garros, speaks to ATPTour.com about his diet, the food he doesn't like, ...

They do a very, very good job and I always enjoy Austrian food with schnitzel and everything. I think I try to eat a little bit of green every day, either vegetables or salad. I always try to eat around an hour and a half or two hours before the match so that the food has time to sink and I don’t feel heavy or too full when I go out on court. There you find very good pasta, a good salad bar, good meat as well if you want to have that. But sushi is also one of my favourites, but I also have to say Italian food is on the top there. I didn’t like it too much when I was younger, but luckily I came to like it a little more as I’m getting older. Obviously on match days, I try to keep it very simple. I think maybe I add a little bit more dessert when I’m not in tournament weeks, but I’m quite a simple guy when it comes to eating. I always enjoy those things, but not too much. I always eat the same for lunch or dinner before a match. For best-of-five sets yes, I’d consider it more, but not too much I would say. I really like it and it’s not too difficult to make, actually.
