Pune Finalist Ruusuvouri
Ruusuvouri took advantage of a weakened field to reach his first ATP final in Pune in February, eventually losing to Joao Sousa of Portugal.
That, though, was on a hard court and all his successes on the Challenger tour, which number four to date, have been in hard court events.
Since appearing in India, he has failed to get beyond the second round of any event, the stage he reached in both Indian Wells and Miami.
He was made to qualify in Monte Carlo, successfully navigating two rounds to make the main draw. There he met the German Oscar Otte in the first round, beating him in straight sets.
However, he then suffered another second round defeat, this time at the hands of the world number 12, Jannik Sinner of Italy, beaten himself in straight sets.

Veteran Wildcard Lopez
Lopez is now 40 years old and the fact that he still plays on tour at an age when most of his contemporaries have long retired is a tribute both to his fitness and sheer will to keep going.
For a Spanish player, clay has, surprisingly, been the surface on which he has had the least success over the years, winning just one of his seven titles on this surface, and that was back in Switzerland six years ago.
And his best performance at the French Open came back in 2004 when he reached the fourth round.
He has yet to win a match in seven tournaments in 2022 to date, but in front of his home fans would be a good place to start.
Ruusuvouri v Lopez Prediction and Tip
Although the Spanish veteran will have the support of the home crowd, he has yet to win a match this year and he is giving Ruusuvouri 17 years. The Lopez legs may not hold up if the match lasts too long.
Tip: Ruusuvouri to win: 1/2 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
