Our Casper Ruud vs Yibing Wu Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Casper Ruud fends off Wu Yibing 7-6, 6-4
Casper Ruud can win this match in straight sets if he continues to hold most of his serves and break Yibing a few times. Ruud has been an efficient server this season, winning 72.3 percent on his first serves and averaging 9.3 aces per match. The problem is he has only converted 18 out of 58 breakpoint chances in 9 matches this season, which is below average by ATP standards.
As for Wu, the last time he fought a prominent former top-10 player was in Hong Kong when he pushed Andrey Rublev to three sets. Wu’s serving stats, especially his first serves win percentage (70.8%) and breakpoint saved percentage (69.4), are respectable enough that he might at least give Ruud some competition in this match.
Our betting prediction for Wu Yibing vs. Casper Ruud: Wu Yibing +3.5 Games
