Casper Ruud vs Luca van Assche Prediction: Ruud will be closer to victory

Prediction for the ATP Miami match which will take place on March 22. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

In mid-March, Casper played a very good Masters at Indian Wells, where he reached the quarter-finals before losing to American Tommy Paul in three sets. Before his loss to Tommy, Casper had knocked Klein, Fils and Monfils out of the tournament, losing only one set in those three meetings. It should be noted that the Norwegian has returned to the top ten of the ATP rankings, although he was recently ranked 12th.

Van Assche failed at the Indian Wells Masters, losing to Arnaldi in the first round, but in between he played a tournament in Phoenix, where he reached the semi-finals and lost to Borges in three games. In Miami, the Frenchman already has one win over Russian Kotov, the 67th ranked player in the world. The match against Pavel lasted an hour and 40 minutes and he won 6:3, 7:5. The Frenchman had no aces and two double faults in the game against Kotov. He won 76% of his points on the first serve and 56% on the second.

After failures at the end of last season, Casper Ruud has noticeably improved at the start of the current season, which affected his ranking. The Norwegian has returned to the ATP top ten and is currently ranked eighth. Casper played at a good level in Indian Wells, we expect the Scandinavian to perform at a good level in Miami and reach the decisive stages of the Masters. In this pairing we are on the side of the favourite, we believe Ruud will win today against the 80th ranked player in the world.
