THE PREDICTION

World number eight Casper Ruud came back from a set down to beat the departing Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in an emotional occasion on Tuesday. The 23-year-old spoke well about France’s favoured son after the match and he could find himself backed well at Roland-Garros moving forwards in return. Ruud is one of the most successful players on clay right now, with seven of his total eight ATP titles coming on his favoured surface after defending the Geneva Open last Saturday. World number 61 Emil Ruusuvuori overcame Ugo Humbert in five sets on Tuesday, taking the first before fighting back from 1-2 down to beat the out-of-sorts Frenchman. The 23-year-old is finding his game on clay after struggling on this surface last season but he has drawn one of the shortest straws in the tournament here against Ruud, who leads their head-to-head record 2-0 after a recent straight-sets victory at last month’s Barcelona Open.

Ruusuvuori is yet to take a set from Ruud and backing the Norwegian to win in straight sets is a tempting move here, although the sensible pick is Ruud outright.
