Both the players have proved their mettle time and again but given Ruud’s current form, he will enter the match as the favorite. Although both of them prefer playing on clay, they have a strong hardcourt game too and whoever takes the charge from the baseline will come out as the victor. Expect the match to go down the distance with Ruud moving into the last 8.

Prediction: Ruud to win in three sets.
