CASPER RUUD VS FELIX AUGER-ALIASSIME PREDICTION

Casper Ruud was clinical in his beating of Croatia Open champion Francisco Cerundolo in the last round, triumphing 6-3, 6-4 and the Norwegian arrives into this quarter-final in excellent form. Meanwhile, as thrilling and as fantastic as Felix Auger-Aliassime’s victory over Daniil Medvedev was, this latest contest could prove to be a case of ‘after the Lord Mayor’s show’ from his perspective.

Of these two, Ruud is the better player on clay and has beaten Auger-Aliassime in two of the three previous matches they have played on this surface. With that in mind, backing Ruud to come out on top has to be favoured.
