Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Casper Ruud prediction
Casper Ruud dismantled Alejandro Davidovich Fokina to set a sixth career showdown with Stefanos Tsitsipas.
The Norwegian was in dazzling form as he rampaged to a 6-3 6-1 victory over the Spaniard.
Casper trails 2-3 in the head-to-head with Tsitsipas, who continued what he hopes is a belated resurgence with a 6-4 6-2 triumph over Daniel Merida.
Ruud leads 2-1 on clay with the pair splitting final triumphs in Monte Carlo and Barcelona back in 2024, while the Scandinavian also prevailed 7-6 6-4 at this very tournament back in 2021.
This is going to be a huge test of this Tsitsipas revival and it’s a big-ask for the world number 80 against a confident 12th seed.
