A heavy favorite to win straight-up, Jannik Sinner also enters his Rome final duel with Casper Ruud as a formidable pick to beat the 5.5-game spread.
Sinner moved one win away from claiming her third ATP 1000 clay-court title this year after fending off a spirited challenge from Daniil Medvedev 6-2, 5-7, 6-4 in a rain-delayed semifinal match in Rome.
The Italian pushed his winning streak to 33 matches at the ATP 1000 level and 28 wins since losing to Jakub Mensik at the 2026 Qatar Open.
Caesars Sportsbook has booked Sinner as the clear-cut favorite in the Rome Masters final, pricing him at -800 moneyline and +100 to cover -5.5 games.
Casper Ruud also secured his spot in the championship match with a clinical 6-1, 6-1 win over Luciano Darderi. The former French Open finalist delivered his best performance on the dirt this year, winning 74 percent of his first balls and breaking Darderi five times.
Ruud has sneakily put together a rock-solid 10-2 record in this clay-court swing, in which he also reached the quarterfinals at Madrid and the round of 16 at Monte Carlo.
Ruud, who is 0-5 vs. Sinner in their head-to-head series, will be coming into the championship match with a +450 tag on the moneyline and -140 price to cover +5.5 games.

Our Jannik Sinner vs Casper Ruud Prediction
Jannik Sinner elevates his game to dominate Casper Ruud anew in the final.
Sinner displayed incredible poise in his semifinal win despite facing a stiff challenge from the relentless Medvedev and delays caused by heavy rains in Rome.
Against Ruud, Sinner enjoys a significant mental edge, with a 5-0 H2H record. He also dismantled Ruud 6-0, 6-1 in their last meeting on the tour, in the quarterfinals of the 2025 Italian Open. Sinner broke Ruud six times in this match while winning a staggering 78 percent of his first balls.
It would take a near-flawless performance from Ruud to make this championship match competitive without the assurance of a victory at the end.
Sinner proved in his home tournament that he can win matches in any situation, making him a no-brainer pick to win straight up.
And while Ruud has put together his best stretch of tennis this season, a +5.5-game cushion will not be enough for him to come away with a win against the spread.
Our betting prediction for Casper Ruud vs. Jannik Sinner: Jannik Sinner -5.5 games.
