Emil Ruusuvuori vs Jannik Sinner Prediction: Ruusuvuori is a comfortable opponent for Sinner

Finn Emil Ruusuvuori will face Italy's Jannik Sinner in the quarter-finals of the tournament. The two men know each other well, they have met six times, although they have never played each other on grass. Jannick has a big advantage in this confrontation, 5:1 and the last five matches were won by the Italian.

The Finn already has two wins on Hertogenbosch in three sets over Nakashima and Humbert. The match against the Frenchman lasted two hours and 37 minutes; the Finn won 6:2, 6:7, 6:4. During the game, Emil served eight aces and two double faults, winning 70% of the points on the first serve and 59% on the second serve. Return statistics: 25%/52%. Last season Ruusuvuori played ten matches on grass, winning six of them.

Jannik was surprisingly easy against Alexandr Bublik in the second round of the Dutch Open. The match against the Kazakh lasted just one hour and 25 minutes; Sinner won 6:4, 6:2. During the game, the world No.9 served 8 aces with zero double faults and won 84% of points on first serve and 59% on second serve. Return statistics: 36%/59%. Overall, let's note that Jannick Sinner has steadily moved into the grass part of the season.

Ruusuvuori is a comfortable opponent for Sinner; the Italian is banal above the Finn in class. So we doubt Emil will be able to compete with the Italian in the upcoming game; on the contrary, we expect an easy and confident victory for Jannick in the tournament's third round in 's-Hertogenbosch. At least, there is much evidence of that, including Sinner's easy win over Bublik in the tournament's second round.
