Casper Ruud vs Albert Ramos-Vinolas: Comeback for Casper Ruud

World number 5, Casper Ruud squares off against Albert-Ramos Vinolas in the opening fixture of the Wimbledon competition. Capser comes into this match behind on the head to head record against Albert and will want to repeat his heroics in their last match together. Both players have suffered defeats lately but against each other, only one can pick up a crucial win here.

Casper Ruud will hope that his sudden dip in form will not continue on the big stage. He saw his 10 match win streak shattered when he lost his last 2 matches. His first loss was against Roland Garros winner Rafael Nadal in the final game of the competition and then he went on to lose again against Ryan Peniston. Losing a final can truly take a toll on a sportsman but will the world number 5 respond with a win here?

Albert Ramos heads into this clash with a very poor record. He won just 1 match in his last 5 games. Leading to that win, he had a 4 losing streak. However on head to head record, he has an outstanding record over his opponent here. It's 4 wins in their last 5 matches. But last time out he lost to Capser and his form is worse. So he knows it would take a great deal of luck to beat Casper Ruud here

Both players met 5 times in total. Albert Ramos-Vinolas won 4 and Casper Ruud won 1
