Top Contenders
Novak Djokovic (Wildcard Entry)
- Analysis: Djokovic has struggled on clay this season, going 0-2 in his previous tournaments. He withdrew from the Italian Open and is now using Geneva as a final tune-up before Roland Garros. Despite his recent form, the 24-time Grand Slam champion remains a strong favorite.
Taylor Fritz (Top Seed)
- Analysis: Fritz enters Geneva as the highest-ranked player in the draw. He has had mixed results on clay but will look to capitalize on the medium-paced courts that suit his aggressive baseline game.
Casper Ruud (Defending Champion)
- Analysis: Ruud has dominated Geneva in recent years, winning three titles (2021, 2022, 2024). His strong clay-court game makes him a serious contender to defend his title.
Grigor Dimitrov & Hubert Hurkacz
- Analysis: Dimitrov’s versatile game and Hurkacz’s big serve could make them dark horses in the tournament. Both players have had solid clay-court seasons leading up to Geneva.
Notable First-Round Matches
- Kei Nishikori vs. Learner Tien – A battle between experience and youth, with Nishikori looking to regain form.
- Alexei Popyrin vs. Jacob Fearnley – Popyrin’s aggressive style meets Fearnley’s clay-court consistency.
