THE PREDICTION
This should be an excellent battle between two of the best clay-courters on tour in world number four Casper Ruud and number 16 Lorenzo Musetti. 24-year-old Ruud is yet to drop a set this week as the top seed in Bastad, where he won one of his 10 career ATP titles back in 2021, and his last campaign on his favoured clay saw him finish runner-up to Novak Djokovic at Roland-Garros – a second-successive second place in Paris. 21-year-old Musetti did well to reach the round of 16 for a second time in Paris but the Italian went on to enjoy the much better grass season, bringing some strong form into Bastad. Two three-set wins over players ranked outside the top 70 this week does not scream confidence ahead of this blockbuster clash but Musetti beat Ruud in their only previous encounter at the Paris Masters, on a hardcourt, late last year and he often brings his best to the bigger occasions. Three sets seem likelier than two but Ruud’s consistency at this level, in these conditions, is close to imperious. Back the Norwegian to win outright.
