Carlos Alcaraz vs Casper Ruud Prediction, Betting Tips and Odds | 11 November 2024

The high-stakes tournament of the ATP Finals opens with a blockbuster: 3-ranked Carlos Alcaraz faces off against 7th-ranked Casper Ruud in Round 1 of Group B. Both come into this match with contrasting momentum-Alcaraz promises much lately but is all over the place, whereas Ruud hasn't been finding his rhythm. Alcaraz has taken their last four meetings, including their recent encounter at the ATP 500 in Beijing. Can Ruud pull off the upset to reset his mark, or will Alcaraz extend his head-to-head dominance on this indoor hard court?

The ferocious game style and hammering groundstrokes have turned Carlos Alcaraz into an ominous prospect on the hard courts. He comes into Turin having lost a tight three-setter against Ugo Humbert in Paris, brief glimpses of brilliance but otherwise lapses at critical junctures. For his part, Ruud has also had it tough of late, with just two wins in his last ten matches. The defeat against Benjamin Bonzi in Metz was just a sign of a disturbing trend that was going on with early losses, but as a clay specialist known for tactical adaptability, he may leverage his all-court potential in this high-stakes environment.

Carlos Alcaraz: Coming into this matchup, Alcaraz has some astounding numbers on serve and aggressive baseline game. An 83% first-serve success rate and an accuracy of 64% make his serve one of the weapons, but a second serve that he wins only 37% and a lower break-point conversion hint at the facets Ruud could capitalize on. Alcaraz will look for a high-intensity game to take advantage of Ruud's recent tentativeness, pushing him from corner to corner using powerful forehands to force the rhythm.

Casper Ruud: Ruud is good at rallying from the baseline, especially with a heavy topspin forehand that can push Alcaraz off the baseline. Additionally, his weak first-serve return of 15% and the low break-point conversion in recent matches spoke volumes about poor converting of opportunities. Ruud must give the best attention to how he can prolong the rallies in order to take advantage of Alcaraz's impatience and find his way to the net, where he would be in a position to cut points short and disturb Alcaraz's rhythm.

Alcaraz should have the upper hand here based on recent form and head-to-head. An explosive game and confidence against Ruud surely provides a psychological edge. With Ruud struggling to get in consistency, especially on hard courts, the power and precision of Alcaraz look more than likely to overwhelm the Norwegian every time-if he manages to maintain his first-serve percentage and avoid the double faults which so hampered him in Paris.
