Before we get to the French Open in Paris, the ATP Tour in Switzerland for the Geneva Open. This is not the most popular tournament on the Tour, as many players use the week before the French Open to recharge their batteries and get ready for the second Grand Slam of the year.
That’s not to say there isn’t any notable names in the Geneva Open. Daniil Medvedev was in this event before he was upset against Richard Gasquet in the Round of 16.
Denis Shapovalov was also in Switzerland for tune-up work ahead of the French Open. He suffered the same fate as Medvedev, with a Round of 16 loss and early exit from the tournament.
That’s disappointing performances from both players, but not surprising in a potential look ahead. With the No. 1 and No. 3 in the tournament out of the picture, Casper Ruud is the only top-3 seed going to the quarterfinal.
Ruud is in good form at the moment, but he is the next top seed to fall victim to an upset? Following a win over Federico Delbonis, Thanasi Kokkinakis is looking for a bigger upset against Ruud.

Thanasi Kokkinakis vs. Casper Ruud Prediction:
Thanasi Kokkinakis is coming off an impressive display against the No. 7 seed. The unseeded Kokkinakis got it done over Federico Delbonis. After one set, it didn’t look good, with Kokkinakis cruising through the match.
However, Delbonis got too complacent and allowed Kokkinakis to creep back into the match. He turned the tables with a 1-6, 7-5, 7-5 win.
Getting too comfortable and complacent in a tennis match, it doesn’t matter the opponent, is a disaster waiting to happen. Delbonis found out the hard way after allowing Kokkinakis to build up confidence in himself.
It was a good win, but Ruud is a step up in class from Delbonis. Kokkinakis is the No. 85 ranked player on the ATP Tour with 723 points. Conversely, Delbonis is 62nd with 919 points while Ruud is No. 8 in the world with 3940 points.

Which Ruud is going to show up on Thursday? He has the talent to play like one of the best on the ATP Tour, but often gets tripped up against the elite players.
Ruud always seems to fail to get over the hump, but he’s capable of beating up on weaker foes. He’s coming off an impressive performance against Benoit Paire in the Round of 16 with a 6-3, 6-1 win over the No. 67 player in the world.
Ruud was on point, with five aces to Paire’s one ace. At one point in the match, Ruud won seven straight games. In the same form against Kokkinakis, this should be a similar result.
This looks like a 6-4, 6-3 win for Ruud, as he does well enough to win and cover against Kokkinakis in the quarterfinal of the Geneva Open.
