Casper Ruud vs Felix Auger Aliassime: Preview

Casper Ruud has been very consistent this season too. He started the season by winning the Argentina Open and then reached his maiden Masters final in Miami. He then won the Geneva Open and followed it up by reaching his first major final at Roland Garros. He then won the Swiss Open and reached his second major final of the season at Flushing Meadows where he lost to Carlos Alcaraz.

Felix Auger Aliassime has finally delivered according to his potential this season. He started the season by winning his maiden ATP title in Rotterdam and then had a few good tournaments. But after the US Open, he has owned the indoor hard court season. He won three back-to-back titles- the Firenze Open, the European Open, and the Swiss Indoors and also made it to the semifinal of the Paris Masters where he lost to eventual champion Holger Rune.

Casper Ruud vs Felix Auger Aliassime: Prediction

While Ruud has been consistent throughout the season, he has underperformed massively after the US Open. Indoor hard courts don’t suit him well and he is yet to adopt a suitable game for it. On the contrary, Felix thrives on the surface and currently, is one of the best players on indoor hard courts. The Canadian will have a massive advantage from the baseline and hence should topple Ruud convincingly.

Prediction: Felix to win in straight sets.
