THE PREDICTION
World number 11 Casper Ruud finished runner-up to Novak Djokovic at Roland-Garros last summer, adding to second-place finishes to the Serb at the US Open the year before and Rafael Nadal in his maiden final in Paris earlier that year. The 25-year-old dropped out of the top 10 after a frustrating 2023 but he impressed at the United Cup, almost single-handedly dragging Norway through to the quarter-finals with three straight-set wins in his singles matches. Ruud and 35-year-old Albert Ramos-Vinolas share a storied 3-3 head-to-head record as two of the top clay talents of the last few seasons but a first meeting on a hardcourt should quite comfortably go the Nord’s way. World number 85 Ramos-Vinolas endured a very tough 2023 on tour and it remains to be seen how he fares back on clay from February, with this trip to Melbourne set to be a short one. Back Ruud to win in straight sets.
TIP: CASPER RUUD TO WIN 3-0
