Casper Ruud vs Federico Coria: Preview
Casper Ruud returns to the tour after injuring his ankle before his opening round match at the Australian Open, forcing him to withdraw from the tournament. Given his clay-court record in 2021, one would anticipate he’ll bring an exceptional level to the court. After beating Roberto Carballés Baena in straight sets 7-6(2),6-3, he advanced to the quarter-finals for the first time this season.
Federico Coria, the 2021 Swedish Open finalist, has had a rough start to the season, losing in the first round of the Australian Open in the Men’s Doubles category and in the round of 32 of the Cordoba Open. He advanced to the quarter-finals in Buenos Aires this week following a tight encounter against fifth-seed Dusan Lajovic, which he won in three sets.

This will be the duo’s fourth meeting. Federico Coria leads their head-to-head, having defeated Casper Ruud twice. Ruud won in straight sets in their last meeting in the Nordia Open Finals.
Casper Ruud vs Federico Coria: Prediction
Being an Argentine, Federico Coria would be the favorite on the court, and he has had a solid run in this competition, but Ruud’s clay court record gives him the edge. After withdrawing from the Australian Open, the Norwegian has made a strong comeback. Coria will struggle to destabilize his clay-court dominance. Expect a thrilling battle as both players are defensively very solid. Ruud will have an edge in long rallies and that should be enough for him to make it to the semis.
Prediction: Ruud to win in three sets.
