Indian Wells Masters: Zverev vs Ruusuvuori Tennis Prediction

TennisSection previews the 2023 Indian Wells Masters as Alexander Zverev takes on Emil Ruusuvuori in the third round on Sunday, March 12, 2023.

Will Alexander Zverev get the win? Will Emil Ruusuvuori pull off the upset? This will be an interesting one, where we have one of the very best players of the last few years looking to continue to make a return to the top of the game as he takes on a tough opponent. Who will triumph and move through to the Round of 16 at the 2023 Indian Wells Masters?

Alexander Zverev vs. Emil Ruusuvuori Match Preview

Alexander Zverev has looked very good this year, all things considered, his serving is as big as ever although there’s most certainly a deficit on his second serve. There are still quite a few inconsistencies in his game compared to his standard but he looks good and he’ll be looking to make waves here in Indian Wells as he takes on Emil Ruusuvuori of Finland. If he wants to grab the win against Ruusuvuori, he’ll need to focus on staying consistent and letting his opponent make the errors as he looks ahead to the Round of 16 of the 2023 Indian Wells Masters.

Emil Ruusuvuori played an awesome match against Roberto Bautista Agut, taking him out in straight sets to book back-to-back matches against seeded opponents, this time taking on Alexander Zverev, the 12th seed. Ruusuvuori will have his chances, especially considering Zverev isn’t back to his best, however, I think Zverev’s big serving and consistent baseline play will keep him alive here at the 2023 Indian Wells Masters.

Alexander Zverev vs. Emil Ruusuvuori Prediction and Pick

Alexander Zverev and Emil Ruusuvuori have met once before, with Emil Ruusuvuori leading the head to head 1-0. Ruusuvuori took out the German in their previous meeting during the Sunshine double, however at the Miami Masters. While I do think Ruusuvuori’s big hitting and Zverev’s own inconsistencies will contribute to a tight match, I expect Zverev to battle it out and record yet another win for a place in the fourth round at the 2023 Indian Wells Masters.
