David Ferrer will coach Casper Ruud in 2027, according to a deal reported as signed.

Ferrer is set to leave his role as Spain’s Davis Cup captain at the end of this year.

Ruud, from Norway, is ranked world No.

18 after slipping down the rankings in 2026.

He has reached three Grand Slam finals and was once ranked No.

Ruud has also gone nearly a year without an ATP Tour title, with his last win coming at the Stockholm Open.

Official confirmation is expected after the Davis Cup Finals, and Ruud has not yet announced his tournaments before the Australian Open.
