Casper Ruud vs Alexander Blockx prediction
Casper Ruud ended the hopes of Stefanos Tsitsipas’ mini revival with a narrow victory in Madrid.
The Norwegian had the edge right at the death as he survived two match points to hit back and sneak a serve-dominated affair 6-7 7-6 7-6.
The Norwegian 12th seed now meets Alexander Blockx after the Belgian underdog continued his magnificent run of form with a superb 7-6 6-2 win over 16th seed Francisco Cerundolo.
This will be a first meeting between the two and while Ruud is an obvious favourite, it is worth considering Blockx to make this tight and if he takes notes from Tsitsipas’s playbook, he may have some real joy.
Casper Ruud vs Alexander Blockx tip: Over 2.5 sets
