Holger Rune - Kasper Ruud. Prediction for the match ATP Barcelona
Rune and Ruud will meet in the quarterfinals of the Barcelona tournament on April 18. Rune has shown good results on the hard court this season, but his performance on the clay courts is not impressive yet. It is unlikely that the Dane will have an easy time in a match against the more stable Ruud. In addition, the statistics of personal meetings speak for themselves - the Norwegian leads in a face-to-face confrontation with Holger with a crushing score of 6-1. What betting options should be considered in this meeting? - find out in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Holger Rune
DenmarkCurrent form
Rune was stronger than Sebastian Baez in the second round of the competition in Barcelona - 4-6, 6-1, 6-2. Holger made one ace in the confrontation with the Argentine, made six break points and lost three games on his serve. In the first round, the Dane beat Albert Ramos-Vinolas.
Professional qualities
Rune always tries to play to the limit of his abilities - aggression in his style can be traced from the very first blow. He strives to give each blow maximum sharpness, but such tactics often result in a large number of mistakes. Therefore, his performances are unstable - if the game does not work out, Holger is able to concede even to a deliberately weaker opponent, which he has already demonstrated several times this season, losing to Martinez, Navona, Nakashima and Borges.
Current indicators in the tour
Rune has won four ATP trophies in his career. In 2023, Holger won his last title by winning the dirt track competition in Munich. The 21-year-old Dane is currently in 13th place in the world rankings.
Interesting facts for betting
Rune has scored seven wins in the last ten matches.
Casper Ruud
NorwayCurrent form
Ruud defeated Hamad Medjedovic 7-5, 7-5 in the second round of the competition in Barcelona. Kasper made three aces, made four break points, and lost two games on his serve in a duel with the Serbian. The Norwegian beat Daniel Galan in the first round.
Professional qualities
Ruud is a classic representative of the clay tennis school with an emphasis on a good forehand. He tries to build jokes around his forehand. This approach works perfectly on clay courts, where the bounce is high and Kasper has time to prepare the perfect shot. It was on clay that the Norwegian won the most tournaments in his career - let's remind that Ruud is the current champion of the competitions currently taking place in Barcelona.
Current indicators in the tour
Ruud is the fifth racket of the world at the moment. During his career, the 26-year-old Norwegian has won 12 ATP titles. He won the last one last season, winning the clay competition in Geneva.
Interesting facts for betting
Ruud is last year's winner of the competition in Barcelona.
