Casper Ruud made a risky and surprising decision by participating this week in the ATP 250 Geneva 2026. Having already qualified for the semifinals, he now knows he will start in the bottom half of the Roland Garros 2026 draw, which means he will debut against a player from the qualifying rounds on Sunday, May 24. This leaves very little room for rest and adaptation to the Parisian conditions for the Norwegian player, who, if he reaches the final in Geneva, will have competed in 7 out of the last 9 days, including the final in Rome and his debut in Paris.
Ruud will have to play on Monday in Paris.
