Ruud, who appeared to be at his best in his semi-final run in Rome, brought that form to Geneva clay, as he dominated Paire completely in the match.
A bright start from Paire saw the Frenchman break in the third game of the match, but Ruud’s accuracy and baseline power helped the World No. 8 reclaim the break immediately as Paire struggled for consistency. Ruud further broke the Frenchman’s serve as he raced to a 55-minute victory.
Ruud is seeking an eighth tour-level title in Geneva, where his quarter-final opponent will be Thanasi Kokkinakis. The Australian earlier recovered from a difficult start to overcome Federico Delbonis, 1-6, 7-5, 7-5.
