Casper Ruud vs Alexander Zverev Prediction: The Norwegian is a bit underrated

Prediction for the ATP Roland Garros match which will take place on June 7. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Ruud in the 2024 season won dirt tournaments in Barcelona and Geneva. In the final of Geneva, the Norwegian was stronger than Czech Machac. At Roland Garros, the Norwegian has wins over the 137th ranked player in the world, Brazilian Meligeni in three sets, Spaniard Davidovic Fokina in five games, Argentine Etcheverry in four sets and American Fritz in four games. The match against Djokovic was not played, the Serb dropped out of the tournament. The match against Fritz lasted 3 hours and 28 minutes, Ruud made 11 aces with seven double faults, won 69% of points on first serve and 60% on second serve.

For the German, Roland Garros became the 5th ground tournament in 2024. Before that, Zverev played the Masters in Monte Carlo, Madrid and a tournament in Munich. In Rome, Zverev was a triumphant winner, defeating Chilean Harri in the final in two sets. In Paris, Alexander beat Rafael Nadal, David Goffen and Alex De Minaur in three sets in the quarter-finals, with the German beating Dutchman Tallon Grxpoor and Denmark's Holger Rune in five games. The match against De Minaur lasted 3 hours and 2 minutes, the score of the meeting 6:4, 7:6, 6:4. During the game Alexander made 2 aces and 5 double faults, won 69% of points on the first serve and 47% on the second.

We believe that Casper Ruud is a bit underrated, the Norwegian has played twice in the finals of the Majors and has a good chance to bounce back in a third consecutive WG final. Zverev had two 5-set matches at the tournament, while Ruud did not play in the 1 quarter finals due to Djokovic's injury. In addition, Ruud has experience of beating Zverev on a dirt surface.
