Strong Showing in Rome From Ruud
Casper Ruud took some time to finally show a high level on clay as the Norwegian had a couple of bad performances leading up to Rome. In Rome, he finally found a good level reaching the semifinal and losing to Novak Djokovic in the semifinal.
Ruud is a clay court expert but he recently expanded his game to hard courts as well. He’s just a very solid player who has a strong and precise first serve. He has a killer forehand as well and that’s a combo that works really well on clay generally.
Ruud is 20-9 on the year and 11-5 on clay so he is clearly favoured to reach the deep stages of this event. He is the defending champion after all besting Denis Shapovalov in the final here last year.

A Rare Win for Benoit Paire
Benoit Paire had an abysmal start to the year as the Frenchman failed to win many matches. In recent weeks Paire found some decent tennis, playing rather well both in Rome and Madrid. He arrived to Geneva in good spirits because he is a longtime resident of the city.
He knows the courts and the conditions well and it helped him take down Emil Rusuuvuori in round one of this event. He demonstrated some decent tennis but he was also helped by his opponent who struggled to find a very good rhythm. Paire had a decent fan following as well which helped him in this matchup.
He is 6-15 on the year and 3-8 on clay. Obviously, he won’t be favoured against Ruud but he has given him some trouble in the past so we might see another three setter.
Ruud v Paire Prediction and Tip
Casper Ruud and Benoit Paire played four times before. They know each other well and have seen plenty of each other last year playing two competitive matches on clay over the summer. If Paire is motivated he can certainly put up a very good fight but I don’t see him winning this one.
In order for Paire to win this, he would need to play superb tennis all match long and he has not done that in a very long time. Even if he does for a short time and wins a set Ruud will still win the match. If you are feeling adventurous and if you think Paire can win a set, try it.
There is some value there but on the winner side, it’s Ruud all the way.
Tip: Ruud to win in straight sets: 1/3 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
