The final match due to take place on the ATP side of things at the Australian Open on Wednesday, which will be played during the early hours of the morning for US fans, sees Casper Ruud and Jakub Mensik clash. Following his defeat to Nuno Borges in Auckland last weekend, the Czech player bounced back with a timely first-round win against lower-ranked opposition. The question is can he raise his game and beat the world number six? For my money, the answer is no. Moreover, betting on Casper Ruud at the currently available odds may just offer us a slice of value.

Our Casper Ruud vs Jakub Mensik Prediction

I know, I know, Casper Ruud needed five sets to see off the challenge of Jaume Munar during the first round, but the way in which the Norwegian stuck to the task and battled through was pleasing, and let's face it, Munar is far from a poor player. Ruud has a pleasing recent record against lower-ranked players, while Mensik hasn't exactly done his best work when being the underdog in matches of this nature. To be honest, Ruud should be available at shorter odds, so betting him to win at -147 is a value move. Our Pick: Casper Ruud to Win.
