Corentin Moutet
Moutet is the lucky loser of the U.S. Open qualifying. The Frenchman knocked Serdarusic and Misolic out of qualifying, but Corentin lost to Wu Yibing in the final. Despite the defeat, Moutet became a member of the main draw and has already knocked out three tennis players: Wawrinka, Van der Zandschulp, and Cachin. On the one hand, it's fair to say the Frenchman was lucky with the draw. On the other hand, it's clear that Moutet can be called the US Open 2022 discovery.
Casper Ruud
Casper Ruud started the American major with a convincing three-set win over Edmund. Then, the Norwegian beat Dutchman Van Rijthoven in four sets and American Paul in the third round in five sets. The match against Paul was extremely difficult for Ruud. The guys played three tie-breaks, and the fight itself lasted almost four and a half hours. It was an endurance contest, which the Norwegian won. Casper served four aces, five doubles faults, 71%/58% on the serve, 32%/49% receiving end, 37/50% winners/unforced errors. Ruud has clearly not had his best match, but he's got a top-notch performer in front of him and we have no doubt he'll do his best to make this one a quicker affair.
Expert Betting Tips
After a prolonged match like the one against Paul, Casper Ruud will definitely try to minimize his efforts in the upcoming game. Otherwise, the Scandinavian will definitely face big problems in terms of physicality and freshness in the quarterfinals. For Moutet. the fourth round of the Major is already a huge success, and we doubt that the Frenchman can even mentally approach Sunday's game at his best. We believe the motivated Ruud has all the potential to get a solid win over Moutet. Here are the betting options for the meeting:
