Rafael Nadal vs Casper Ruud : Preview
Rafael Nadal is in the midst of a horrible run, where he has faced four consecutive defeats. The Spaniard has been hammered by Taylor Fritz and Felix Auger Aliassime in straight sets so far this week. The top seed does not have much to offer, and is certainly miles off his best at the moment. Rafael Nadal is already out of the semifinal race, and will look to secure a good result over Casper Ruud to bow out with at least some pride.
On the other hand, Casper Ruud can do no wrong at the moment. The Norwegian secured a three-set victory over Taylor Fritz, which was decided in the final set tiebreaker. The third seed also defeated the in-form Canadian, Felix Auger Aliassime in the first round-robin stage fixture in straight sets. Up till the Nitto ATP Finals, Casper Ruud had a rather ordinary indoor-hard court campaign, but he has raised the level of his game in Turin.
Rafael Nadal vs Casper Ruud : Prediction
Casper Ruud will have no better opportunity to avenge his French Open final loss to Rafael Nadal than he has on Thursday. The Norwegian has been broken just once in the last two matches, and has played some brilliant tennis which has earned him a deserved place in the last four. On the other hand, Rafael Nadal has been put under pressure on his second serves, something which Casper Ruud will look to exploit. Given that the Spaniard is already out of the tournament, he will be able to play a bit more freely which might work in his favor.
Prediction: Casper Ruud to win in three sets
