Casper Ruud vs Albert Ramos-Vinolas prediction

Casper Ruud began his clay season in disappointing fashion as he suffered an early loss in Monte-Carlo and then failed to defend his title in Barcelona, losing in the quarter-final to Holger Rune. Ruud turned his fortunes around in Madrid, winning his first Masters 1000 title with the drop of just one set. He continued his unbeaten run in Rome but was then blown off the court by Jannik Sinner in the quarter-finals, losing 6-0 6-1.

Alberto Ramos-Vinolas enters the main draw after making it through the qualifying stages. The 37-year-old’s best finish here was a quarter-final appearance all the way back in 2016. There has been very little to show for Ramos-Vinolas this season, with the Spaniard struggling to make deep inroads in Challenger events and failing to qualify for tournaments on the ATP Tour.

Ruud leads the head-to-head 4-3 and has won their last four matches, with their most recent being in Melbourne last year, with the Norwegian thrashing Ramos-Vinolas with the loss of just five games. We think the world number eight, who made consecutive finals here in 2022 and 2023, will win in similar fashion.
