If the seeded n ° 1 of the tournament of Geneva, Roger Federer, disappeared from the round of 16, the seeded n ° 3, Casper Ruud, will be well at the rendezvous of the quarter-finals. The Norwegian, 21st in the world, defeated Tennys Sandgren (67th) without too many problems, 7-5, 6-2 in 1h23. Ruud saved the only break point the American got … when he was serving for the match. He finally had the final say on his fourth match point. The Norwegian broke at 5-5 in the first set and 0-0 and 3-1 in the second to win and offer himself a quarter against Dominik Koepfer, defender of Feliciano Lopez after a game of 2:18
