The upcoming encounter is not likely to be over quickly. Both opponents are well prepared for the tournament. Both Ruud and Auger Aliassime show good intensity for the game. It is very likely to be a long match.
Ruud had a tough match in the third round against Roberto Bautista-Agut (6-7, 7-6, 6-4). As expected, it was only decided in the third set.
Casper lost the first set on a tie-break, barely got the second set (also on a tie-break) and in the third set, he took a game on the receiving end at 2:2 and then confidently took the match to victory.
In the first match, Ruud defeated Alex Molcan (7-6, 6-3). Two sets were enough for him here.
Ruud reached the Masters’ quarter-finals on hard court for the second time this season. In early April, he lost to Carlos Alcaraz (5-7, 4-6) at the Miami Open.
Ruud has lost 8 in his last 10 matches against the representatives of the top 10.
Auger Aliassime, meanwhile, has not given up a single set so far this week.
Although, already in the third round, Felix had to play against Cameron Norrie (6-3, 6-4). However, unlike in their previous meeting in Los Cabos, this time Cameron was a poor performer.
Auger Aliassime took the first set (6-3) and the second (6-4). Felix took three games on the receiving end, while Norrie did not have a single break point.
Here it is important to add that in Montreal, Auger Aliassime is greatly helped by the support of the stands.
