Norway needs a win against the Czech Republic to boost their chances of reaching the quarter-finals of the United Cup. Casper Ruud won his first match and now takes on Jakub Mensik. Read our match prediction below.
Casper Ruud had a straight sets win over Alex de Minaur in his opening match in this tournament. However, Norway lost both the women's singles and mixed doubles in this outdoor hard court team tournament.
This is the final group match for Norway so they really need to win this match.
Ruud has a great record in this tournament and has won seven of his eight singles, including the last five. He'll need another win if Norway want to reach the quarter-finals for a third successive year. He won two tournaments in 2025 but ended the year with two consecutive defeats.
Jakub Mensik is at 18th in the live rankings, six places below his opponent. He won 22 of his 34 outdoor hard court matches last year and won the Miami Masters in March. He's only reached one hard court quarter-final since then.
These two players met in last year's Australian Open. Mensik won that match in four sets. If Ruud can repeat the form shown against de Minaur, we believe he can win this with under 23.5 games played.
