Casper Ruud vs Matteo Arnaldi Prediction: We are not waiting for a long game

Prediction for the ATP Madrid Casper Ruud vs Matteo Arnaldi game which will take place on April 28th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

In case of failure in Madrid and high-quality performance in the capital of Spain, Ruud risks losing the fourth position in the ranking, as he had previously lost the third. He needs to change the situation, which requires a good performance at the Masters. Before the tournament in Madrid, Ruud won the competition in Portuguese Estoril, then lost in the third rounds of tournaments in Monte Carlo and Barcelona. As for the fourth racket of the world, the results are controversial. Let's see what the Norwegian can show in Madrid. 

Matteo was active after the Masters in Miami, played three tournaments, and even won the Challenger in Murcia, Spain, where he was stronger than the Croatian Gojo in the final. Arnaldi qualified in Barcelona and lost to Evans in the round of 32. In Madrid qualifying, he was stronger than Misolic and Fils. In the first round of the Masters, he beat Paire in three sets with the score 6:1, 3:6, and 7:6. The game against Peer was long and lasted two hours. Matteo served 7 times in the game with five double faults and won 73% of points on the first serve and 44% on the second. Return statistics: 20%/63%, winners/unforced errors statistics 26/24.

We doubt the Italian can catch at least a game in the upcoming match. After the failures in Monte Carlo and Barcelona, Casper Ruud has no problems with motivation. Ruud is one of the best clay players in the world, and we expect good results from the Northerner. Arnaldi is strong at the Challenger level but hardly at the Master level. Moreover, the Italian has no problems with playing practice. Matteo has already played three games directly in Madrid. But the difference in class should play a role. We are not waiting for a long game. On the contrary, we believe that Casper Ruud will win on Friday.
