Casper Ruud vs Emil Ruusuvuori prediction

Casper Ruud at the 2022 Italian Open. Despite Tsonga troubling him in the first round, Ruud played a great match. He struck 41 winners compared to 25 unforced errors. His forehand worked quite well and he will aim to dictate the game against the Finn too. Ruusuvuori went 7/22 on break points in his first-round match. Failing to make the most of his chances against a player like Ruud will prove to be costly. He likes to play from the baseline, but will need to mix it up against the Norwegian as simply trading blows from the back of the court won't do him any favors. Ruud has won seven titles on clay so far. Despite his excellent resume on the red dirt, he has underperformed at the French Open, failing to progress beyond the third round. Still, the Norwegian is a way better clay courter compared to Ruusuvuori and will have the edge in this contest. Pick: Casper Ruud to win in straight sets.
