THE PREDICTION
World number nine Casper Ruud beat Tommy Paul on Saturday to jeep Team Europe in the hunt by the end of day 3, earning their only two points of the clash so far. Team Europe have a mountain to climb on Day 3 in Vancouver, with any match win by Team World ending the tie as they will reach the 13-point cut-off, but that should see some better resolve against the raucous partisan crowd’s wishes. The opening doubles match will set the tone for the day but if Team Europe win to see this second match live it could end up the most thrilling of the weekend. World number eight Taylor Fritz beat Andrey Rublev in straight sets on Saturday to put some recent disappointments behind him and playing for a purpose other than himself seems to suit the US number one, at least in terms of on-court enjoyment.
Ruud beat Fritz in three tight sets at the ATP Finals late last season to suggest this second encounter could come just as close, with Fritz the just-about favourite with the home crowd on his side. Consider taking this match to see three sets, or for Fritz to win at least one of them, but wait to seethe outcome of the potentially competition-ending doubles opener.
