Karen Khachanov is the higher seed in this Italian Open quarter-final but it will be a surprise if he is the victor. The 15th seed faces Casper Ruud who is only seeded 23rd but has a far better clay court record. That's why this match prediction believes Ruud will reach the semi-finals.
For the winner, there's a match against either Rafael Jodar or Luciano Darderi.
Tuesday saw Khachanov end the run of qualifier Dino Prizmic who had beaten Novak Djokovic. The Russian won in straight sets to reach his first clay court quarter-final of the year. Before beating Prizmic, he needed three sets to defeat Botic van de Zandschulp.
Ruud leads Khachanov 2-1 in previous meetings. He won their only match on clay and that was in this tournament six years ago.
Casper Ruud is attempting to reach the last four in Rome for the fourth time. The former Roland Garros finalist has made a strong start to his clay court season with eight wins in ten matches. This is his second last eight appearance of 2026 on this surface.
Wins in Rome have come against Zachary Svajda, 11th seed Jiri Lehecka and eighth-seeded Lorenzo Musetti without dropping a set.
He has won the first set in five of his last seven matches.
