Casper Ruud vs Stefanos Tsitsipas Prediction 

We think it will be a close match with very little separating both players from each other. In addition, they both have won titles this year and the hard court is not their favorite surface.

Casper Ruud won the last H2H at the Madrid Open on clay. However, we don’t have to go so far back to find that Ruud is playing very well currently. Hence the Norwegian converted all three break points in his last match against Lajovic.

On the other side of the court, Tsitsipas as well has been playing very well in Toronto as we saw in the preview. The Greek eliminated two of the hottest players now on Tour, Khachanov the Olympics finalist, and Humbert who eliminated Titsipas in Tokyo.
