Maxime Cressy v Emil Ruusuvuori Head to Head
They played once before and it came in 2019 when Ruusuvuori won in three sets in Bratislava.

Improvement from Cressy Across the Board
Maxime Cressy has been steadily improving over the past 24 months and right now he is firmly played inside the top 100 where he believes. The American has also amassed somewhat of a big following in tennis due to his insistence on playing serve and volley so much so that Daniil Medvedev was shocked by it at their Australian Open match earlier this year.
The American has a goal of becoming world number one and while the dream is far fetched it shows he doesn’t lack any confidence in his game. It serves him well as he has an 11-6 record so far this year and most of those wins have come on hard courts.
It’s not been good lately for Cressy as his last match win came in Australia in January. He has not won a match since then and he played three matches (all on American soil) and lost all three of them. Another tough matchup against Ruusuvouri won’t thrill him but a win might finally get him back on track.

Ruusuvuori’s Struggle with Consistence
Emil Ruusuvuori has won 10 matches this season but he also lost six of them. The problem for the Finn is that he can’t really string together a couple of wins altogether. His best run came in Pune early in the season where he played Joao Sousa in the final. He played a good match but lost the final.
Since then it’s been a struggle for him that sort of started in the Davis Cup. He was expected to carry his nation on home soil but he failed both in singles and doubles against David Goffin which cost his nation the qualification. After that, he travelled to North America and it’s been a similar struggle.
He won one match in Indian Wells before losing in round 2. He then played at the Phoenix Challenger once again winning one match but losing the 2nd. Now in Miami, he will look to finally win two matches in a row, something that he has not done in a very long time.
Cressy v Ruusuvuori Prediction and Tip
These two players have very similar playstyle in the sense that both of their games depend heavily on their serve. Both have a powerful first serve and a lot depends on it. If they hit it at a high percentage it allows them to play their aggressive game and shorten points.
If they don’t they can run into quite a bit of trouble against players that move well. Miami allows players to dictate play yet defensive players can also find success on the surface. This match will largely depend on the serve. It can easily finish in a couple of tiebreaks and three sets but I don’t expect either player to cruise.
I tend to think that Cressy will have a slight advantage because of the novelty of his playstyle but the Finn can win the match as well. It’s very hard to call so I’m going to advise you to take the over on games. It’s very likely and I don’t know who to back to win the match outright.
Tip: Over 21.5 games in the match: 5/6 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
