Ruud has improved significantly over the last year on hard court. Casper has reached the Masters final in Miami this season, as well as the semi-finals at the recent Montreal tournament. He is certainly up to the task and we believe he can look to win the US Open.
The only head-to-head encounter between the two players was a long match. It is likely that this match will follow a similar pattern.
Khachanov reached the semi-finals of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time and will return to the top 20 next week.
In the quarter-finals, Karen did what even Daniil Medvedev could not do. Unlike his compatriot, he defeated Nick Kyrgios.
The powerful showdown between Nick and Karen ended with Khachanov winning the fifth set.
Karen played magnificently throughout the match, despite the fact that Kyrgios also managed to win two sets. His success was due to his first serve and his superb hitting from the back line. It turned out that Khachanov was also capable of playing at this level.
All of Khachanov’s matches at the US Open have gone to more than 3.5 sets.
Ruud, meanwhile, reached the semi-finals at the Grand Slam for the second time in his career. Earlier this season, he lost to Rafael Nadal in the decider at Roland Garros. He will move up to the top three at the end of the current tournament.
In the quarter-finals, Casper scored an emphatic victory over Matteo Berrettini. Unlike Matteo’s previous opponents, serving was not a problem for Ruud.
What is more, Ruud took the first set with a score of 6:1. In the decisive set, he scored a break and overpowered Berrettini on the tie-break.
After the match, Ruud admitted that somewhere in the second set he started to get nervous because everything was going too well.
All in all, Ruud stormed beautifully into the semi-finals, contrary to expectations.
Ruud has won 8 of his last 10 matches on the open hard court.
In 3 of Ruud’s last 5 matches, less than 9.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Under 9.5” with odds of 2.19.
