Carlos Alcaraz vs Casper Ruud prediction
Carlos Alcaraz surged into his ninth ATP semi-final on the spin with a convincing victory over Brandon Nakashima.
The world number one notched up a 6-2 6-4 success to set up a sixth career meeting with Casper Ruud.
The Norwegian was equally dominant as he ended Aussie qualifier Aleksandar Vukic’s run courtesy of a 6-3 6-2 scoreline.
Alcaraz leads the head-to-head 4-1 although Ruud did win their most recent clash 6-1 7-5 at the ATP finals last year.
The Scandinavian fourth seed has looked like his old self in this tournament, but it remains a tall order to upset Alcaraz’s red-hot run and the six-time major winner is so often Rafael Nadal-like in terms of being locked in at the business end of events.
