Ruud elaborates on his decision to play in Geneva

Norwegian tennis player Casper Ruud has been making waves in the European clay court swing, with two titles under his belt and a strong performance in the Geneva Open. Despite a setback in Rome due to lower back pain, Ruud bounced back with a win in Geneva, explaining his logic for playing in the tournament as preparation for Roland-Garros.

Ruud emphasized the importance of getting match practice before a Grand Slam event, noting that playing in Geneva allows him to face tough competition and build momentum leading up to the tournament. With a calm and focused approach to the smaller event, Ruud has found success in Geneva multiple times, setting himself up for another deep run at Roland-Garros.

Reflecting on his successful start to the season, Ruud expressed confidence in his game but acknowledged the need to regain momentum after disappointing results in Madrid and Rome. Winning the Geneva Open has given him a boost of confidence, but he remains humble, recognizing that Roland-Garros is a challenging tournament where anything can happen.

As Ruud gears up to start his Roland-Garros campaign, fans can expect to see him bring his A-game against Filipe Meligeni Alves in the first round. With his recent success and determination to perform well on the clay courts, Ruud is poised to make a strong impact at the prestigious Grand Slam event.
