Juan Manuel Cerundolo vs Casper Ruud prediction

Casper Ruud will refer to a recent demolition of Juan Mnauel Cerundolo when they lock horns for a fourth time at the US Open.

The Norwegian surged to a 6-1 6-2 success at the Canadian Masters recently to score his first win over the Argentine.

Cerundolo leads the head-to-head 2-1 with a couple of previous wins on clay, but he will need a new strategy on hardcourt given the one-sided nature of their previous clash.

Ruud is a former runner-up here and although his form isn’t anywhere near that of previous years, the Scandinavian will be confident his firepower will deliver the goods in these conditions.
