“Casper's thinking ‘I thought Rafa was meant to be here’” – Tennis fans react to Casper Ruud’s repulsive look in picture with Novak Djokovic while idol Rafael Nadal remains absent at Laver Cup Comment Share Tennis fans react to Casper Ruud's repulsive look in picture with Novak Djokovic as idol Rafael Nadal is absent at the Laver Cup Rafael Nadal was a notable absentee as Casper Ruud and Novak Djokovic accompanied the rest of the Laver Cup crew on a tour in London for the tournament photoshoot on Wednesday. Nadal is set to arrive in London on Thursday, September 22, a day before the commencement of Roger Federer's farewell tournament. The Spaniard’s travel was delayed as he stayed back in his home country to accept the Camino Real Award from the King of Spain in a special ceremony in Madrid. Although he was unable to participate in the pre-tournament events, the 22-time Major champion had an enthusiastic response to all the scenes happening in the British capital. "Hey… I am coming tomorrow… Landing in London in the morning… wait for me," he replied to a tweet from the Laver Cup on Wednesday.

Team Europe’s @MattBerrettini and @DjokerNole have the intel (and an iconic photo preview).

Tennis fans quickly took an interest in the unusual photograph and came up with amusing remarks describing the scene. Casper Ruud has long been known to be a fan of Rafael Nadal and has also trained at his academy in Mallorca, Spain. As the Norwegian bore a seemingly repulsive look on his face, many fans teased him about the picture with Nadal’s arch-rival Novak Djokovic in his idol’s absence. “Casper's thinking ‘I thought Rafa was meant to be here,’” one fan said.
