With Roland Garros only a few weeks away, the ATP will be making a stop in Switzerland for the Geneva Open as players prepare for the only clay-court Grand Slam of the season.
Running from May 15-21, 2022, the Geneva Open was an annual event that was hosted until 1991 in the Swiss city. The ATP 250 event eventually made it's way back home in 2015, with Casper Ruud winning the most recent edition in 2021.
Ruud will be returning to defend his crown, alongside two-time champion Stan Wawrinka who lifted the title in 2016 and 2017. World No.2 Daniil Medvedev will be making his return to the courts after taking time off to address a hernia issue, and the Russian could face former World No.3 Dominic Thiem in the quarterfinal, should the Austrian get past a potential round of 16 match with Alexander Bublik. Dennis Shapovalov lurks as a possible semifinal opponent, with the Canadian coming off a memorable victory over Rafael Nadal in Rome.
The other half of the draw features defending champion Ruud, who clay-court specialist Fabio Fognini in the quarterfinal. Should the Norwegian get past the Italian, a date with fourth seed Reilly Opelka awaits.
The Geneva Open features a 28-player singles event, with the winner likely building momentum to what should be a thrilling French Open.
