Casper Ruud vs Pablo Andujar: Prediction

The matcch should be a clode one. The otherwise flawless Ruud has shown glimpses of weakness in his game this week on the defensive side in the first set against Koepfer. But he has been rock solid on the forehand and will back that again.

As for Andujar, he would again back his strong baseline game against Ruud and test his defense. Expect a tight match with Ruud cruising into the final.

Prediction: Ruud to win in straight sets.
