Casper Ruud vs Alexander Zverev Prediction & Picks - ATP French Open

Few male players have been in better clay-court form than Casper Ruud and Alexander Zverev over the last month, so it's fitting that the pair clash deep into this tournament. To be honest, this would've been a fitting final, but instead, the pair will battle it out for the right to be in Sunday's final. There's little between the players in terms of both rankings and form, but for my money, Ruud should be more favoured in the betting, so while he's not, betting on the Norwegian to come out on top offers some clear value for money. We know that both players are pretty much at the top of their game right now, so it's certainly not that Zverev is in poor form, but Ruud could have a two-fold advantage here. One, he bagged himself a well earned rest yesterday as Djokovic withdrew, meaning he could have the edge in terms of fitness after Zverev played against De Minaur. Two, Ruud has won his last two matches against Zverev, including when winning 3-0 at Roland Garros last year, which could give him the mental edge. For me, that's enough for him to be given a bit more respect in the betting. Our Prediction: Casper Ruud to Win.
