Ruud vs Rublev Odds & Prediction

Andrey Rublev and Casper Ruud are playing in the semifinals of the Nitto ATP Finals. They will meet on Saturday at 3 p.m. ET.

Ruud beat Taylor Fritz, Félix Auger-Aliassime and Rafael Nadal. Rublev beat Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas. He is now 9-4 against top-four players since 2019.

Ruud reached the French Open and US Open finals this year. He is ranked No. 2. Ruud is playing in the Italian Open in Turin. He has to play with more dimension on the clay-court in order to win.

Ruud has improved his serve velocity and groundstrokes this season. Rublev doesn't have the same pure-winner firepower.

Ruud and Rublev haven't met all year. The last time they met was at this same event a year ago. Ruud won on a tiebreak. Ruble has won all four previous meetings on clay.

Ruud and Rublev are playing each other this week. Rubleva has done well changing directions with his backhand this time. Ruud's backside is a wall, but Rubelva may be able to hang in with him long enough to get a chance at unleashing on his forehand.

Casper Ruud vs Andrey Rublev is a tough one to call for RubLev in straight sets.
