Taylor Fritz as Kasper Ruud. Prediction for the ATP Madrid match
Fritz and Ruud will meet in the fourth round of the Masters in Madrid on April 29. Not very successful performances at the tournaments in Monte Carlo and Barcelona led to Ruud dropping to 15th place in the world ranking, although until recently he was fifth in the world. This undoubtedly obliges the Norwegian to perform successfully in Madrid. Fritz is a serious opponent, but the only face-to-face match between tennis players on clay ended with the victory of the Norwegian. Will Kasper be able to beat Taylor on clay again? - the bets for this match are in our betting tip
