Emil Ruusuvuori v Max Purcell Head to Head
They played once before and Ruusuvuori won that match.

Bad Start for Ruusuvuori
Emil Ruusuvuori did not start the 2023 year that well playing two events and losing twice in the first match. It’s problematic for him as he’s a very streaky player who generally stays on a level for a long time.
He’ll need to quickly improve if he wants to win the match and move on at the Australian Open. A crucial way to do that is to start serving well as that has been an issue before. Both Mikael Ymer and Benjamin Bonzi are solid players but they are also players that Emil can and should beat.
Conditions in Australia play in his favour but he’s not done that well in the past. His all-time record is only 1-2 but a lot of his matches were close ones in four or five sets.
I kind of expect something similar in this one because he hasn’t played that well and generally tends to suffer from drops during matches. Purcell being a native player with the crowd’s backing should only complicate things further.

Purcell Back to Singles
Purcell has been making most of his money recently by playing very well in the doubles. He’s still a capable singles player and he’s showing it right now.
5-1 is the score for him this year as he won three qualifying matches as well as two more in a challenger even prior to that. Purcell will never be a great singles player but he’s certainly good enough to be in the top 100. A win here would bolster his chances of getting there this season so the motivation will be high.
The wins were pretty solid and the players he faced were okay ones. None of them is that impressive and none are on the level of his next opponent but they were good practice.
One thing he could do is to try to mix it up with some serve and volley because he’s unlikely to outhit his opponent from the baseline.
Ruusuvuori v Purcell Prediction and Tip
This matchup is far closer to me than the odds indicate. Yes, there is a chance that Ruusuvuori cruises easily in this one but I don’t see it happening. I see this going to four sets at the least.
Tips:
- Low Risk Tip: Over 3,5 sets in the match: 4/6 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
