Ruusuvuori Found Some Form in Washington
After a solid couple of wins to start the Washington Open last week, Emil Ruusuvuori fell to fifth seed Grigor Dimitrov in the round of 16 to bow out of his first hard court tournament since the quarterfinal finish in Miami in March.
The Finn, who is 13-10 on hard courts this season, had beaten Constant Lestienne and Yoshihito Nishioka in the first two rounds in Washington. He would be happy with that performance as he had entered the tournament with five consecutive defeats behind him. That series of losses had begun in the semifinal in ‘s-Hertogenbosch — his only final four appearance this year.
Baring that run in the Rosmalen Open and his first-ever ATP 1000 quarterfinal in Miami, Ruusuvuori has not reached the last eight stage this year.
This will be his third appearance in the Canadian Open. He lost in the first round in 2021 and in the second round last year.

An Up-and-Down Season for Giron
Playing Ruusuvuori is Marcos Giron, who knocked out Radu Albot in straight sets on Sunday to reach the main draw of the Canadian Masters.
Giron, who is 16-19 at the tour level, will be making his second appearance in the main draw of the tournament. He had also made it to the main draw last year, but was beaten in the opening round.
The 30-year-old American, who was beaten by Albot in the first round in Washington, needed an hour and 14 minutes to beat the Moldovan 6-3, 6-1 in the second qualifying round on Sunday. He had won his first qualifier in three sets against Nick Chappell, beating the fellow American 6-4, 3-6, 6-2.
Giron has featured in four quarterfinals this year, two of which have been on hard courts in Auckland and delray Beach, but he has not been able to go past the last eight stage.
His recent form has not been good either, but then there have never been big expectations from him on clay or grass courts. Back on the surface where he has earned most of his wins, he will look to return to get into some rhythm soon.
Ruusuvuori v Giron Prediction and Tip
Ruuuvuori is a touch better player and is a slight favourite against the American.
Tips:
- Low Risk Tip: Ruusuvuori to win: 4/7
- Moderate Risk Tip: Three sets in the match: 3/5
