Novak Djokovic – the most decorated male tennis player in history – returns to the Gonet Geneva Open

The record holding tennis champion, with 24 Grand Slam titles and a Gold Medal won at the 2024 Paris Olympics, accepted the organisers’ wild card.
A semi-finalist at last year’s tournament, Novak Djokovic has chosen Geneva and the Parc des Eaux-Vives ahead of the French Open. In 2024, he enjoyed the setting and atmosphere of the Gonet Geneva Open to fine tune his clay-court preparations. There is always a strong, loyal and passionate welcome from fans and the tennis audience.
Last year’s week in Geneva was the foundation to great results in Paris. Novak won all ten of his matches at the French Open and Paris Olympics, conquering the gold medal.
Novak is joined in Geneva by Taylor Fritz (ATP 4) and Casper Ruud (ATP 7). The 2025 edition of the Gonet Geneva Open will boast the presence of three top ten players and shaping up to be one of the most competitive ATP 250 tournaments of the year.
For its tenth anniversary, with Novak in attendance, the Gonet Geneva Open is gearing up for an extraordinary week!

Sixteen of the world’s top fifty players at the Gonet Geneva Open

Sixteen of the world’s top fifty players will be participating at the Gonet Geneva Open. The entry list published by the ATP gives even more substance to the tournament, which takes place from 17 to 24 May at the Parc des Eaux-Vives.

One former winner – Nicolas Jarry (ATP 57) – and two former runners-up – Tomas Machac (ATP 20) and Denis Shapovalov (ATP 30) – are among the twenty-one players admitted directly into the draw. The first top players have been announced in recent weeks. World No. 4 Taylor Fritz, three-time winner and defending champion Casper Ruud (ATP 15), Grigor Dimitrov (ATP 16) and recent ATP 500 Barcelona semi-finalist Karen Khachanov (ATP 25) have all confirmed their participation.
Two Masters 1000 winners, Alexei Popyrin (ATP 26) and Hubert Hurkacz (ATP 28), will also be competing. As will Italians Lorenzo Sonego (ATP 43) and Matteo Arnaldi (ATP 44), both of whom have real ambitions.

The organisers still have 3 wild cards to add players to the field. The staging of the Rome Masters 1000 could, as it did last year, provide them with a real opportunity to attract other top players. Finally, on the Swiss front, the Australian Open junior champion Henry Bernet is well placed to benefit from the second wild card for the qualifying draw, which is also shaping up to be very tight. The first was awarded to Leo Borg.

Olympic runner-up at the Gonet Geneva Open

 Olympic runner-up at Tokyo 2021, Karen Khachanov (ATP 27) will participate at the Gonet Geneva Open for the first time. The Russian joins Taylor Fritz (ATP 4), defending champion Casper Ruud (ATP 10) and Grigor Dimitrov (ATP 17) on the entry list.

 Winner of the 2018 Paris-Bercy Masters 1000, Karen Khachanov has also played in two Grand Slam semi-finals, in New York in 2022 and Melbourne in 2023. Aged 28, he was world no. 8 in July 2019.

 Karen Khachanov returns to Geneva almost 12 years after his participation in the indoor Challenger held at the Queue d’Arve. Then ranked 511th in the world, he lost in the quarter-finals to Jan-Lennard Struff.

 Next week, the ATP will announce the official entry list for this tenth edition of the Gonet Geneva Open. The organizers will also benefit from three wild cards to further expand the field.

World No. 4 at the Gonet Geneva Open 

Following in the footsteps of Casper Ruud, another Grand Slam finalist will be playing at the Gonet Geneva Open at the Parc des Eaux-Vives from May 17 to 24. World No. 4 and last year’s US Open finalist, Taylor Fritz returns to Geneva for the third time.

 Semi-finalist at the Gonet Geneva Open in 2023, the 27-year-old Californian is one of the most spectacular players on Tour. His attacking tennis, based on a powerful serve and forehand, has taken him to the very top. He has 8 titles to his name, including the Indian Wells Masters 1000 in 2022. In 2024, he also reached the final of the Turin Masters.

 Over the years, Taylor Fritz has tamed the clay. Finalist last year in Munich, he has already reached the semi-finals of the Monte Carlo and Madrid Masters 1000 tournaments. In Geneva, he knows he’ll find ideal conditions to develop his game in the hope of becoming the second American to win at the Parc des Eaux-Vives 41 years after Aaron Krickstein.
