Defending champion Casper Ruud continued his march towards another Geneva title as the World No. 8 reached the semifinals with a straight sets win over Australia’s Thanasi Kokkinakis on Thursday.
The Norwegian, who had begun his campaign with a convincing 6-3, 6-1 victory over Benoit Paire in the second round on Wednesday, needed an hour and 44 minutes to beat the World No. 85, 6-4, 7-6 (7-3) in the quarterfinal.
The second seed won 90% of the points on his first serve, saved both the break points that he faced and converted one of two to reach a second consecutive semifinal on clay, following his run to the final four in Rome.
The win improved the Norwegian to 22-9 in 2022. A seven-time champion from 10 tour-level finals, Ruud won his only title of 2022 in Buenos Aires and reached a maiden ATP 1000 title in Miami, before falling to Carlos Alcaraz.
Ruud didn’t have an encouraging start to the European clay season, but seems to have got back in form just ahead of the French Open.
