Casper Ruud will do battle with Alejandro Davidovich Fokina for a seventh time in Madrid.
The head-to-head stands at 3-3 with a win apiece on the clay of Roland-Garros, with both of those encounters going five sets.
Ruud was in dominant form as he thumped Jaume Munar 6-0 6-1 while Foki eased past Pablo Carreno Busta.
The faster conditions may lean a touch towards the Spaniard, but given the thrillers they have had in the past, it’s a decent call to opt for it going three.
