Casper Ruud vs. Christopher Eubanks: Match Prediction

American tennis star Christopher Eubanks has clashed with Casper Ruud on two previous occasions. Their face-off at Shanghai will mark their first clash this season ever since their match at Indian Wells last year. Their head-to-head score stands at 1-1.

Casper Ruud won at the duo’s previous encounter at the ATP Masters Indian Wells in March last year. Scoring straight sets against Eubanks, Ruud emerged victorious with a 7-6, 6-2 win over the American. Prior to that, the two clashed at the Challenger Stockton 5 years ago where Eubanks beat 5th seed, Ruud, in straight sets.

Christopher Eubanks has some powerful swings and great forehand shots that can be a little challenging for Ruud to deal with. Both players do not appear to be in their best form. However, Rudd reaching the quarter-finals at the China Open is a positive sign. Ruud can easily overpower Eubanks to claim his ticket to the fourth round.

Match Prediction: Casper Ruud to win in straight sets.
