THE PREDICTION
This should be a really entertaining battle between two players at their best on the clay, with world number seven Casper Ruud by far the fresher after beating Emil Ruusuvuori in comprehensive straight sets earlier on Friday. World number 19 Pablo Carreno Busta battled past Lorenzo Sonego in three sets on Friday for a tougher recovery but the 30-year-old is one of the fitter players on tour and back-to-back matches could actually favour his hard-grafting playstyle. The pair have met on three previous occasions, each on clay, with 23-year-old Ruud winning their two most recent matches at the Kitzbuhel Open in 2019 and last season’s Monte-Carlo Open. All three of their matches have seen a set go to both players which makes for an interesting set of picks: the sensible option is taking Ruud to win at least one as the likelier winner, the reasonable risk is for Ruud to win outright given his extra rest time and the one-off punt is taking Ruud to win in three. It is probably best leaving this one out of an accumulator with a retirement more likely having already played a match.
