Casper Ruud believes he has the weapons to reach the second week of Roland Garros and maybe help transform him into a “rock star” in his native Norway.
Ruud is the third seed at the Geneva Open and has a good shot at winning his second-ever title, with top seed and 20-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer already eliminated.
Ruud beat Tennys Sandgren 7-5, 6-2 on Wednesday to set up a quarterfinal with Germany's Dominik Koepfer, who first knocked out seventh seed Benoit Paire and veteran Feliciano Lopez in the round-of-16.
