A former Monte-Carlo Masters finalist will be in action on Wednesday, when Casper Ruud, who has twice reached the semis of this event, takes on Corentin Moutet. The French player is playing reasonably close to home this week, but his clay-court record in matches of this nature isn't great, while he's never beaten Casper Ruud before, which doesn't exactly bode well. Moreover, the world number 31 recently lost to a much lesser player on clay, so don't be surprised if he struggles here.
As for Ruud, well, with the Norwegian reaching the final of this event back in 2024, it's quite clear that he likes of courts in Monte Carlo, where he's reached the third round at least in each of his last five appearances. Having booked his place in the second-round courtesy of a straight-set win over Alexei Popyrin, I'm betting on him to make light work of seeing off Moutet.

Our Corentin Moutet vs Casper Ruud Prediction
Quite simply, this is a big chance for Casper Ruud to give himself the boost he needs to once again go deep at this tournament. These are clay-court conditions that the Norwegian player likes, and having beaten a decent player (Alexei Popyrin) in straight sets during the first set, he should have what it takes to see of Corentin Moutet without dropping a set.
Moutet is not the worst clay-court player, but he lacks any sort of convincing record in matches of this nature, that's for sure.
