Expert Betting Tips

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.
