Ruud vs Zhang Head-to-Head

Casper Ruud and Zhizhen Zhang will be playing for the first time on the ATP Tour. Ruud can potentially struggle with Zhang’s raw power, however, with his experience in these conditions, he’ll surely be the favorite to come through.

Ruud vs Zhang Prediction

Casper Ruud has looked solid so far, and with the bottom half of the draw opening up, Ruud’s chances have only increased. Ruud is an experienced player in these kinds of conditions, and Zhizhen Zhang hasn’t yet found his consistency. In order to challenge Ruud, he’ll have to look for as many forehands as possible and attack the Norwegian. In these slow conditions, it’ll be a particularly effective strategy, however, Ruud will enjoy these conditions as well, and especially in the best-of-five format, I expect him to get the win and return to the Round of 16 as he looks to continue his campaign at this year’s French Open.
