- He is chasing his first tour-level clay quarterfinal.
- Casper Ruud is targeting a fifth consecutive Geneva quarterfinal.

Collignon Carrying Great Form
Raphael Collignon defeated Adrian Mannarino 6-3, 7-6 to reach the second round in Geneva. He recovered from a 2-5 deficit in the second set before completing the win in straight sets.
Collignon arrived this week with strong momentum after winning nine of his last 11 clay-court matches on the Challenger circuit. That run included a title in Monza and a runner-up finish in Bordeaux.
The Belgian has shown steady progress since last season, highlighted by a third-round run at the US Open and a semifinal appearance in Brussels. He has continued that rise in 2026 with a quarterfinal in Brisbane and a third-round showing in Miami.

Ruud Continues Geneva Success
Casper Ruud began his title-defense campaign with a 6-3, 7-5 win over Jenson Brooksby in Geneva. He dropped serve three times but converted five of his 10 break-point chances during the match.
With the victory, Ruud improved his record in Geneva to 14-1. He is now one win away from reaching a fifth consecutive quarterfinal at the event, where he has won three titles in his last four appearances.
