Seeded no. 1 Casper Ruud is a superb clay player and despite that, he had some very bad results on clay this year. Last year he largely dominated these tournaments on clay winning at the Bastad, the Gstaad, and the Kitzbuhel in three consecutive weeks. Last week he had a terrible outing at Bastad where he bowed out of the second round but he hopes to get the job done in Gstaad. Ruud has maintained a record of 32-14 this year so far and that is the reason why he’s number 5 in the world. On clay, he’s 21-7 with the Roland Garros final so he’s still a premier clay player.

On the other hand, Jiri Lehecka had a great match in the last round beating Martin Etcheverry in straight sets. He has been on a positive note and is cementing his position in the top 100. The Swiss Open should be a very strong event for him naturally because the conditions here are ideal for him as the high altitude makes the serve a very potent weapon which is the best part of his game along with his forehand. Although Ruud is a very tough opponent, Lehecka will try his best to overcome him in the round of 16 tie.

Ruud will go in as the favorite to win the match given his form and superior ranking. He is one of the best players in the world and has proven himself on clay, he is more or less an all-court player. Expect a good match with Ruud moving into the next round.

Prediction: Ruud to win in three sets.
