Casper Ruud of Norway will go head-to-head with Juan Manuel Cerundolo in the quarterfinal round of the 2025 Gstaad Open on Friday.

Ruud survived a litmus test in his first match off an injury, squeaking past Dominic Stricker of Switzerland 7-5 7-6(6). Ruud, who missed the grass-court season and the Wimbledon Open due to a knee injury, had to dig deep from his bag of tricks to overcome the spirited challenge from Stricker. Ruud connected 62 percent of his first serves and won 32 points off them. He conceded only one breakpoint while breaking Stricker’s serves two times.

Cerundolo has earned his 8th win in 10 matches on clay since losing to Luca Van Asshe in the qualifier of the Wimbledon Open. The Argentine rallied from a set down to edge veteran David Goffin 5-7 6-4 6-1 in the second round. Cerundolo played efficient in this match, landing 70 percent of his first serves to capture 44 points. He also broke Cerundolo five times on 38 return points. The Argentina has now survived two three-setters in this tournament as he also edged Jan-Lennard Struff 6-3 3-6 6-3 in the first round.
