Casper Ruud vs Andrey Rublev – Match Predictions

Andrey Rublev to Win

First seed Ruud is the favourite in this meeting but our confidence in placed in the reformed Rublev. Based on their head-to-head record and the Russian’s recent form, he appears to be the favoured player to win this meeting against Ruud. Rublev holds a commanding 5-2 advantage in their past encounters, and notably, four of these have come on clay courts, showcasing his dominance on this surface. Rublev already has defeated the 2022 champion, Francisco Cerundolo, and should have enough in the tank to get past the 2021 champion in Ruud.

2-1 to Andrey Rublev

We favour Rublev to triumph in this meeting but it will not be without resistance. The Russian found a way to beat Cerundolo in three sets and a similar outcome is expected against Ruud, who has not dropped a set on his path to the final. The Norwegian did beat Rublev in their most recent two duels and has the pedigree to force the scorers in turning for him. But it will not be enough against Rublev, the Monte Carlo Masters champion, who has started to deliver in championship matches.
