The draw has been confirmed for the Geneva Open which will take place between 18-24 May, 2025 and is an ATP 2050 which takes place in the week prior to Roland Garros.
It features Taylor Fritz and Novak Djokovic as the leading star power on offer in the tournament with Casper Ruud the defending champion deciding against entering this year.
Ruud reached the Quarter-Finals in Rome where he was well beaten by Jannik Sinner. But prior to that he also won Madrid so is having a rest ahead of Roland Garros.
For the other two main seeds, it is about getting pivotal game time and wins. Djokovic could have a chance for instant revenge against Matteo Arnaldi at the Geneva Open. Seeded second, he is on a collision course with his Madrid Open conqueror.
He faces the winner of Marton Fucsovics or Zizou Bergs in his opener with Arnaldi likely in the Quarter-Finals. The Italian faces Hugo Gaston in the first round and either Fabian Marozsan or a qualifier in the second round.
A Djokovic-Arnaldi rematch would be the aim for the Serbian after a crushing 6-3, 6-4 loss last month. He also lost last year to Tomas Machac who he could feasibly play again in the semi-finals for the second straight year. He won in last year's semi-finals. But Djokovic improved to 2-1 with a win at the Australian Open this year.
Taylor Fritz is top seed. He faces Jaume Munar or Quentin Halys in his opener. Hubert Hurkacz is also involved as is Karen Khachanov who are likely opponents in the next few rounds. He was dumped out by Marcos Giron in Rome so like Djokovic needs confidence.
Geneva has suffered with players withdrawing this week including Ruud and Dimitrov albeit not as much as Hamburg with Zverev roped in to cover after Sinner led the charge that also included Musetti and Tsitsipas not to play the ATP 500.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
