Contents
With their contrasting styles, this matchup between Carlos and Casper promises an enthralling contest. The Spaniard defeated Musetti to book this meeting while Ruud had to overcome Etcheverry in the previous round.
2-0 to Carlos Alcaraz @ 1/2 (1.50)
Their head-to-head history tips in favour of Alcaraz, who has emerged victorious in all their official encounters. As they meet once again in Beijing, Ruud would want to turn the tide and notch a significant win against his rival. Only Daniil Medvedev and Dan Evans have taken a set off him in his last eight matches, and we do not believe Ruud will be able to get himself on this list. It will be another straight-set victory for Alcaraz, as he has done so in previous China Open outings.
Under 20.5 Games @ 9/10 (1.90)
It will be interesting how they fare in this meeting and who will come out on top. While Ruud has struggled to get over the line, Alcaraz has not suffered through this fate. Given the Spaniard’s exceptional form, giving up only 11 games to reach the quarter-finals. Ruud meanwhile conceded 9 games to Struff and 17 against Etcheverry. Their collision will tilt on one side and we believe Alcaraz will come out on top, finishing this match in under 20.5 games.
