Casper Ruud

For Casper Ruud, the upcoming match will be his first at the Cincinnati Masters. Last week, the Norwegian played one match in Montreal against Duckworth, winning in three sets. He withdrew from the match against Korda, citing injury. Now we can only guess what kind of shape Ruud is in, given the recent circumstances.

Felix Auger-Allassim

The Canadian failed at the Montreal Masters, losing his first game to Italian Cobolli in two sets. But in Ohio, Felix already has one win over American Kovacevic in two games. The match against Alexander ended with the score of 6:3, 6:1, the duel lasted an hour and 14 minutes. During the game Felix made 2 aces with three double faults, won 68% of points on the first serve and 61% on the second.

Expert Betting Tips

Firstly, Auger-Aliassime has beaten the Norwegian twice in 2024, both times on the Scandinavian's favourite soil, including a fortnight ago in Paris at the Olympics. Secondly, the Norwegian was injured last week in Montreal and it is not clear yet whether Ruud was able to regain the necessary tone or not. In this pairing we are on Felix's side, we believe that the bookmakers have set the odds correctly and the Canadian will indeed be closer to victory in the upcoming game. As for the total, we won't be surprised if the Canadian can win by two games.
