David Ferrer Joins Casper Ruud’s Coaching Team
Team Ruud is delighted to welcome former world No. 3 David Ferrer to Casper Ruud’s coaching team. The Spaniard, who retired from professional tennis in 2019, brings a wealth of experience and expertise from the highest level of international tennis.
Ferrer spent many years among the world’s top players, reaching a career-high ranking of No. 3 on the ATP Tour. He is known for his professionalism, exceptional work ethic and competitive spirit - qualities that will be valuable in supporting Casper’s continued development.
“We feel very fortunate to have David joining our team. We have already had the opportunity to get to know him well, and we have tremendous respect for everything he has achieved, both as a player and as a coach. We are confident that he will bring a new dimension to Casper and the entire team. We are really looking forward to working together and are excited about the 2027 season,” says Christian Ruud.
With Ferrer joining the coaching staff, Team Ruud is strengthening its setup while maintaining the established structure and approach that have served the team well.
Christian Ruud will continue as Team Leader, primarily based in Norway. He will retain overall responsibility for Casper’s sporting development and the coordination of the team.
David Ferrer and Pedro Clar will serve as travelling coaches, accompanying Casper at tournaments and during training periods throughout the season.
The addition of Ferrer is intended to bring further expertise and capacity to the coaching staff while ensuring continuity in the team’s long-term approach to Casper’s development.
Apart from this strengthening of the coaching staff, there will be few changes to Team Ruud. The existing structure and working relationships will largely remain as they are today.
Team Ruud looks forward to working with David Ferrer and continuing to build on the strong foundation established over many years.
