Taylor Fritz returns to the Gonet Geneva Open

After the annoucement of Casper Ruud and Ben Shelton, the Gonet Geneva Open will be able to count on a third player ranked in the world’s top 15 next month. Last year’s semi-finalist, Taylor Fritz (ATP 13), returns to Geneva for the ninth edition of the tournament, which runs from May 18 to 25 at the Parc des Eaux-Vives.

Beaten in the tie-break of the third set by Grigor Dimitrov in a semi-final that provided a great spectacle, the American will of course be aiming to go one step further this year. At the age of 26, Taylor Fritz, who was world no.5 in February 2023, reached the quarter-finals of the Australian Open in 2024 before claiming the seventh title of his career in Delray Beach. He celebrated his greatest victory in 2022 at Indian Wells, where he became the first American to win the year’s first Masters 1000 since Andre Agassi in 2001.

A formidable forehand player, Taylor Fritz is one of the most spectacular players on Tour, with an attacking style that’s bound to charm audiences. He has shown in the past that he can really shine on clay. Semi-finalist at last year’s Monte Carlo Masters 1000, finalist in Munich this year, the Californian won’t forget how close he came to the title at last year’s Gonet Geneva Open.

Casper Ruud, Ben Shelton and Taylor Fritz all feature on the Gonet Geneva Open entry list, which will be announced today. The organizers are confident that other top players will be present in Geneva. They have been awarded three wild cards to further enhance the tournament, which is set to be a huge popular success once again.

Casper Ruud and Ben Shelton at the Gonet Geneva Open

The Gonet Geneva Open is delighted to announce its first two headliners for its ninth edition, which will take place from 18 to 25 May in the enchanting setting of the Parc des Eaux-Vives. Two-time winner of the tournament in 2021 and 2022, Casper Ruud (ATP 12) will be returning to Geneva for the fourth time. Ben Shelton (ATP 16), who also took part last year, will be back with much greater ambitions.

With the Norwegian and the American, the Gonet Geneva Open will be presenting the Geneva public with two players who have shone in recent months. Casper Ruud is a three-time Grand Slam finalist, having reached the French Open final in 2022 and 2023 and Flushing Meadows final in 2022. As for Ben Shelton, he thrilled the crowds last year in New York when he reached the semi-finals of the US Open. He then went on to win his first ATP title in autumn with his victory at the ATP 500 tournament in Tokyo.

 The announcement of Casper Ruud and Ben Shelton as new players once again underlines the attractivity of the Gonet Geneva Open to the world’s top players. Over the last ten years, the tournament has welcomed a host of top names in tennis, including five Grand Slam winners – Roger Federer, Stan Wawrinka, Daniil Medvedev, Dominic Thiem and Marin Cilic – reigning Olympic champion Alexander Zverev and Masters winner Grigor Dimitrov. The Gonet Geneva Open is also an opportunity for the next generation of Swiss tennis players to show their skills to their home crowd. Dominic Stricker won his first ATP Tour match in Geneva in 2021.

 Casper Ruud and Ben Shelton will not be the only top players coming to Geneva this year. As in previous editions, the field will be enriched by other renowned players. The Gonet Geneva Open aims to maintain the growing popularity of a tournament that attracted almost 30,000 people to the Parc des Eaux-Vives in 2023 over the eight days of competition.
