Tip and bets
In this game we will pick a younger opponent, Ruud, as our favourite. Casper had a good performance at Monte-Carlo, where he reached the semi-finals.
Also Norwegian won the only head-to-head game between opponents in straight sets. We believe that Ruud will celebrate a victory once again.
Our prediction - Ruud to win with a handicap of (-4.5) games.
Cuevas is 35-years old, so it won't be easy for him to compete against 22-years old Ruud. Representative of Norway should beat Pablo simply because of better physical conditions. We expect Ruud to secure a comfortable win in straight sets.
Second prediction - total under 21 games.
