Norwegian tennis star Casper Ruud has appointed former world No. 3 David Ferrer as his new coach, announcing ambitions targeting the 2027 season. The partnership was confirmed on November 11, 2026, marking a significant shift in Ruud's technical team as he looks to elevate his game on the ATP Tour.
Ferrer, a Spanish tennis legend with 27 career singles titles and a reputation for relentless competitiveness, brings extensive experience to Ruud's camp. The 25-year-old Ruud, currently ranked among the world's top players, has consistently reached the latter stages of Grand Slam tournaments and aims to translate that consistency into major titles.
While specific performance targets for 2027 were not detailed, the collaboration signals Ruud's long-term planning and desire to add Grand Slam championships to his résumé. The new coaching duo is expected to begin working together immediately ahead of the upcoming season.
