Casper Ruud enjoyed an excellent campaign in 2025, which helped him achieve a first on the ATP Tour.

Ruud might have failed to qualify for the ATP Finals, but he did capture his very first Masters title in the 2025 season.

The star won the Madrid Open after toppling Jack Draper in the final, and he followed it up with victory at the Stockholm Open.

Ruud entered the 2026 season on the cusp of the ATP Tour top 10, and he’s announced the first nine tournaments he will play next year.

Casper Ruud reveals 2026 ATP Tour schedule

The Norwegian has announced the first tournaments he will play until the first clay court tournament of the year.

According to Ruud’s official website, the star will play two tournaments ahead of this year’s Australian Open at the United Cup and the ASB Classic in Auckland.

After the Grand Slam, Ruud will play in Dallas, Delray Beach, Acapulco, Indian Wells, and Miami on the first American hardcourt swing.

The last tournament Ruud has confirmed for 2026 is the Monte Carlo Masters in April, which he has previously reached the final of.

Interestingly, Ruud is yet to win any of the tournaments he’s confirmed for 2026, meaning a victory in any would be a first-time feat.

The Norwegian heads into his 11th season on the ATP Tour as the world number 12.

Outside of Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz, and Jannik Sinner, Ruud is one of the more illustrious players on the ATP Tour.

Ruud has won 12 ATP 250 tournaments across his career, including the Argentina Open, the Geneva Open, and the Estoril Open.
