Aleksandar Vukic vs Casper Ruud Prediction: bet on the Norwegian to win

Prediction for the ATP Shanghai match which will take place on October 4. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

After the US Open, Vukic played two hard court tournaments, in Chenju and Tokyo, both unsuccessful. In Shanghai, the Australian already has three wins, Vukic started the tournament with qualification, in which he was stronger than two Americans, Cressy and Krueger. In the main draw, Vukic was stronger than the 70th ranked player in the world, Frenchman Moutet. The match against Moutet was a 3-set match, which lasted two hours and 3 minutes, Vukic won it with the score of 2:6, 6:3, 6:4. During the game Aleksandar made 6 aces with one double fault, won 70% of points on the first serve and 62% on the second.

At the US Open, Casper Ruud reached the 4th round where he lost to Taylor Fritz in 4 sets. After the Grand Slam, the Norwegian played two matches at the Davis Cup, a loss to Roshi and a win over Faria, before losing his match to Cherundolo at the Laver Cup and Jordan Thompson at the Tokyo tournament. The Norwegian has just one win over Faria in their five most recent meetings.

If Ruud continues like this, he will fall out of the top ten of the ATP rankings, in addition, Casper is fighting to get to the final, he is ranked sixth in the race, but the Norwegian is pushed by Rublev, De Minaur and Djokovic, so there is no certainty that Casper will participate in this draw. The Norwegian is in need of points and after failing in Tokyo he has to show his class at the Shanghai Masters, one of the last tournaments of the season where he can improve his position. Besides, a failure in Shanghai may lead to a sharp drop in the list of contenders, as most of the competitors have come to China. We believe that Ruud will play his opening match on Chinese soil better than his opening match on Japanese soil.
