Casper Ruud has made a move ahead of the 2027 season. The Norwegian tennis player announced a top-tier addition to his coaching team, none other than David Ferrer. The former world number 3 – and current captain of the Spanish Davis Cup team – will join the Norwegian's working group to share his experience and help him regain his best form. This partnership aims to give a new boost to one of the most outstanding players in recent years.

The news was confirmed on Monday, November 9, through a statement published on the official Ruud website. In it, the team explains that Ferrer's arrival aims to strengthen the existing structure without causing a revolution in the working methodology that has accompanied the Norwegian throughout his career. In fact, Christian Ruud, the player's father and coach, will continue to play a fundamental role as the general head of his sports development and team coordinator, although he will primarily be based in Norway.

"We feel very fortunate to have David on our team. We have already had the opportunity to get to know him well and have great respect for all he has achieved, both as a player and as a coach. We are convinced that he will bring a new dimension to Casper and the whole team," explains Christian Ruud in the statement.

Ferrer will share duties with Pedro Clar

The Alicante-based coach will not replace anyone. His role will be to work alongside Pedro Clar, who will continue to be part of the team as a traveling coach. Both will accompany Ruud during tournaments and different training periods throughout the season. The intention is to expand the technical resources and working capacity of the group while maintaining the continuity of a project that has been functioning around Christian's figure for years.

The choice of Ferrer is not casual. The Spaniard reached number three in the world ranking, contested the Roland Garros final in 2013, and won 27 ATP titles before retiring in 2019. His professionalism, competitive ability, and extraordinary work ethic are some of the qualities that the Team Ruud particularly highlights in his introduction.

Thus, the focus is already on 2027. After several years among the best, Ruud seeks to regain ground and return to competing regularly for the major objectives of the circuit. To achieve this, he will have a new voice, although with a very recognizable philosophy. Work, work, and more work.
