Ruud vs Rune: another crushing defeated from the Norwegian?
On July 15, Casper Ruud will face Holger Rune in the second round of the Swedish Open. We have made a prediction for this match, which we can find below.
Command Analysis
Casper Ruud
NorwayRuud played really well on clay this season. The Norwegian tennis player won the tournament in Geneva in May, beating Denis Shapovalov in straight sets in the final match (7-6, 6-4). Sure, Casper didn't really have any success on grass, but that was expected. Clay is the only surface the Norwegian feels comfortable playing on.
Holger Rune
DenmarkRune is having a wonderful season. Sure, the Danish player mostly appears at different Challengers, but that gives him lots of experience. Holger is not yet fully ready to compete against more skilled tennis players at bigger tournaments. That being said, he had a very solid start to the Swedish Open. In the first round, Rune got a strong-willed victory over the representative of Moldova Radu Albot (4-6, 6-3, 6-0).

Ruud should beat Rune without any problems. The Danish player is not yet experienced enough to compete against Casper. We believe that Ruud will close the match in two sets and less than 22 games.
