The Norwegian won his second career ATP title beating the Canadian in straight sets.

Casper Ruud is the Gonet Geneva Open champion after beating the world number 15 Denis Shapovalov 7-6, 6-4 in one hour and 41 minutes to win his second ATP title.

It was a battle of the number two against the number three seed at the tournament and the entire first set went on serve and the set would be decided by a tiebreaker.

In the breaker it was the Norwegian who would earn the first break of serve to take a 4-2 lead and would make it to 6-2 before the Toronto native would win four points in a row to make it 6-6 before Ruud would win the next two points to win the breaker and the first set.

The second set was another tight battle and at 2-2 once again it was the number three seed who had a chance to break and on the second time of asking he would get the crucial break.

He would serve it out to take the win and the title in Geneva which would be title number two after winning in Buenos Aires last year.
