Casper Ruud vs Ilya Ivashka Prediction: IF Ivashka Becomes a Sensation

Prediction for the ATP Miami Casper Ruud vs Ilya Ivashka game which will take place on March 24th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

The beginning of the season could have been better for Casper. The Norwegian played badly at the Australian Open, losing in the second round to the American Brooksby. Then there was an incomprehensible tournament in Acapulco: a victory over Andreozzi and a defeat by Daniel. In Indian Wells, Casper was also not impressed, outplaying Schwartzman but losing to Christian Garin in two sets. Casper should be getting in shape, but it is slowly happening with Ruud. Ivashka is not the weakest competitor because Ruud could be doing better with practice, and he did not play on the Miami courts.

In Indian Wells, Ivashka surprised us. After many defeats, Ilya won Safiullin, and van de Zandschulp withdrew. Still, everything went to his loss. In the third round, Ivashka took a set from Daniil Medvedev, a future finalist and tennis player, with a good series of victories. In Miami, Ivashka had already played one match, and without a chance, the Bulgarian beat the German Altmaier, the 114th racket in the world. The match's score was 6:2, 6:1, and surprisingly quickly, the 80th racket in the world won the 114th. A lot says Ivashka will not give up the game so quickly next Friday.

The duo is challenging. On the one hand, Ruud is a tennis player of higher status than Ivashka. On the other hand, the current tone is not on Casper's side. The Norwegian is not great in 2023, whereas Ilya performed well at the recent Indian Wells Masters, where he took a set from Medvedev. Ruud is not Daniel's equal right now, so we won't be surprised if Ivashka becomes a sensation in the upcoming game.
