Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Under 38.5 – 1.81.
The third round match against Sonego made us wonder about Ruud’s current playing conditions. Casper looks tired – he might well have lost to Lorenzo. We believe that Hurkacz will not give Ruud such gifts.
Ruud looks tired and we think that it will be extremely difficult for him to confirm his status of the favourite in the upcoming match. We expect a difficult match for Casper.

Ruud reached the second week of Roland Garros for the first time in his career. Prior to that, he had lost in the third round, three years in a row.
In the first round, Casper had a tight match against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (6-7, 7-6, 6-2, 7-6), for whom this game was the last of his career. Three of the four sets ended in a tiebreak.
Casper then quietly defeated Emil Ruusuwuori (6-3, 6-4, 6-2).
In the third round, Ruud had his first real test. The eighth-ranked player barely beat Lorenzo Sonego (6-2, 6-7, 1-6. 6-4, 6-3), overpowering the Italian only in the fifth set. This match proved that there are many weaknesses in his game this spring.
Ruud has won his last seven clashes on the clay.
He has played 23 games on clay this season and has 18 wins.

Hurkacz, meanwhile, also won more than two matches for the first time at the French Open.
Remarkably, Hurkacz is the only one among all the remaining competitors who has not given up a single game on his serve so far. We can imagine how this fact is stressing Ruud.
In the first two matches, Hubert had no problems at all. He calmly beat Giulio Zeppieri (7-5, 6-2, 7-5) and Marco Cecchinato (6-4, 6-1, 6-2), who did not score a single break point between them.
In the third round, Hurkacz had an unexpectedly easy win over David Goffin (7-5, 6-2. 6-1). In the second and third sets, he gave his opponent a total of only three games.
Hurkacz has lost in eight of his last ten matches to higher-ranked opponents.
He has played 12 games on clay this season and has 9 wins.
