In the 1/16 finals of the ATP tournament in Montreal, Kasper Ruud from Norway will play against Slovakian Alex Molchan.
Kasper Ruud
The 23-year-old representative of Norway is just about to start at the tournament in Canada. Before that, Ruud had not played any hard tournaments for a long time. The last time Casper played in mid-July at the ATP clay tournament in Switzerland, which he successfully won. In the final of the tournament , Ruud won a strong - willed victory over Italian Matteo Berrettini in three sets – 4:6; 7:6 (7:4); 6:2.
Alex is Silent
The 24-year-old representative of Slovakia, in turn, started at the tournament in Montreal the night before last. In the 1/32 finals, Molchan made a small sensation in two sets, but in a hard fight he beat Mackenzie McDonald from the USA – 7:6 (7:1); 6:4. The tennis players spent one hour and forty-five minutes on the court.
Alex Molchan and Kasper Ruud played together for the last time on April 28 at the ATP clay tournament in Munich. Then the Norwegian won a strong-willed victory in three sets – 3:6; 6:4; 6:4.
Forecast
In this match, Kasper Ruud is of course considered by the bookmakers to be the undisputed favorite. At the same time, Molchan is still able to "drive" the Norwegian after such a long pause on the hard. We suggest that you bet more than 21.5 games on the total.
