Casper Ruud vs Taylor Fritz : Prediction

Casper Ruud qualified in this tournament on the back of some splendid performances throughout the year. But he is lacking in form. He needs to improve his on-court presence to beat Taylor Fritz. On the other hand, the American is a very lucky man. He not only qualified for the ATP Finals tournament at the very last moment but also won his first match. But it will require more than luck to beat the Norwegian.

Prediction: Casper Ruud will win this match in straight sets.
