Norway’s No.1 Casper Ruud of Team Europe will face off against big-serving American Reilly Opelka of the United States to kick off the 2025 Laver Cup on Friday.
Ruud, who has won his last four matches against Opelka, is listed at -140 moneyline and +160 if he covers -2.5 games against the American on DraftKings.
Current Form:
Ruud will play his first match since crashing out in the second round of the 2025 US Open, losing to Raphael Collignon of Belgium in five sets 6-4 3-6 3-6 6-4 7-5. Ruud, a former world No.2, has had a rocky North American hard-court campaign, wherein he won only three of five matches. Ruud is 9-6 on the hard court and 29-12 overall in 2025.
Opelka bowed out to Carlos Alcaraz 4-6 5-7 4-6 in the first round of the 2025 US Open championships. The American fired 14 aces and won 48 points behind the first serves. Unfortunately, he just could not capture a breakpoint against Alcaraz, who would go on to win the US Open championship. Opelka carries a 14-10 record on the hard court and a 28-22 record overall in 2025.
