Zhang Zhizhen vs Casper Ruud Prediction: Ruud Came to Defens the Title

Prediction for the ATP Roland Garros match, which will take place on June 3d. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Chinese have been a remarkable figure on the clay. We saw him in Madrid, Rome, and Lyon. The most successful tournament was the Madrid Masters, where he reached the quarterfinals but lost to Aslan Karatsev in two sets. At Roland Garros Zhang had two wins over Lajovic and Tirante. The match against the latter lasted two hours and 23 minutes; the Chinese won it 7-6, 6-3, 6-4. During the game, Zhang made five aces and three double faults, winning 71% of points on the first serve and 57% on the second. Reception stats: 35%/53%, winners/unforced errors 32/30.

In the second round, Casper should have won in three sets, but Zeppieri took one set. As a result, Ruud entered the last 32, 6:3, 6:2, 4:6, 7:5. Against the Italian, Ruud fired twice and had two double faults, winning 65% of his first-serve points and 74% of his second. Reception stats: 28%/57%, winners/unforced errors 34/28. Note that before, Ruud outplayed Zeppieri and Ymer.

Remember that Ruud is a finalist in the last Roland Garros. So the Norwegian came to Paris to defend his points and will try to win the tournament. The competition is high, but there is no Nadal and Medvedev. Djokovic is not impressive yet. The most likely winner is Alcaraz, a strong clay courter but not yet at the peak of his form. So Casper has a good chance this season to clinch even a trophy. He needs to save as much energy as possible in the first rounds.
