Casper Ruud vs Cristian Garin – Match Predictions

As both players set their sights on a quarter-final spot, these are our predictions and tips for this match

Cristian Garin to Win at Least One Set

Casper Ruud is the favourite to win this match, and for good reason. The Norwegian is the number one seed in this competition; he has four wins in his last five matches too. However, it may interest you to know that Ruud has struggled against Cristian Garin in the past; he suffered three losses in four previous skirmishes between these players, and has a 0-2 record vs Garin on clay courts. Considering Cristian Garin is coming into this match on the back of three consecutive wins, we believe he’ll take at least one set today.

Cristian Garin to Cover +4.5 Games

We’ve already established that Cristian Garin tends to play well against Casper Ruud. It’s also important to point out that the Chilean has held his own against most of his recent opponents. Interestingly, Garin has seven wins in his last nine matches; he won at least one set in all of his last eight singles matches (excluding retirements). Given that Casper Ruud needed three sets to beat Sebastian Baez yesterday, we are fairly confident that Cristian Garin will do enough to cover +4.5 games.

Casper Ruud vs Cristian Garin Preview

Now that we’ve gotten our Casper Ruud vs Cristian Garin predictions out of the way, let’s see how these players have fared in recent weeks.

Casper Ruud

After losing in the Bastad Open final to Andrey Rublev, Casper Ruud kicked off his Hamburg Open campaign against Sebastian Baez. Although the Norwegian was the overwhelming favourite to win that match, he needed all of three sets to dispatch the Argentine. This will be a tricky fixture for the former World number 2, as he hasn’t fared well against today’s opponent in recent years. It’ll be interesting to see how he matches up against Cristian Garin.

Cristian Garin

On the other hand, Cristian Garin had to go through the qualifying rounds of this tournament in order to reach the main draw. The Chilean has put up a fairly decent run of results, winning seven of his last nine matches. Garin will be eyeing his fourth win in five encounters with Casper Ruud as he faces the Norwegian on Thursday.
