Casper Ruud vs Matteo Berrettini prediction
Matteo Berrettini’s first win following a three-month lay-off sets him up for mouthwatering round of 16 contest with Casper Ruud.
The Italian overpowered Jaume Munar 6-4 6-2 to book a ninth meeting with the Norwegian after Ruud overcame an early scare to beat Japanese minnow Shintaro Mochizuki 4-6 6-1 6-1.
The fourth seed leads the head-to-head 5-3 and prevailed in Rome earlier in the year when Berrettini retired at 7-5 2-0 down.
The Italian world number 56 does lead the match-up 2-1 on an outdoor hardcourt but he may not be firing on all cylinders here, so Ruud looks the more likely winner if his leaping forehand can target his opponent’s backhand often enough on this surface.
Casper Ruud vs Matteo Berrettini tip: Casper Ruud to win 2-1
