LiontipsCasper Ruud vs Arthur Rinderknech. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Kitzbuhel (July 30, 2021).
Command Analysis
Ruud is on fire. He continues to eliminate his opponents and win trophies. First Casper won the tournament in Bastad, then he took the title at the Swiss Open. Now the Norwegian tennis player is one step away from the final in Austria, but to get there he must defeat Arthur Rinderknech.
We must say, that Ruud's performance in Kitzbuhel hasn't been flawless. Casper lost a set to the Spaniard Vilella Martínez (7-5, 5-7, 6-4), and later also to Mikael Ymer (3-6, 7-6, 6-1).
Rinderknech looks quite confident at this tournament, too. Here in Austria, he passed Federico Delbonis (6-2, 6-4) and Filip Krayinovic (6-4, 6-1) without experiencing any problems. In the previous match, Arthur outplayed the young Danish prodigy Holger Rune in three sets (6-4, 3-6, 7-6).
In total, Rinderknech played 27 matches on clay this season, in which he scored 19 victories. This is a great result, thanks to which the Frenchman climbed to 91st place in the ATP world rankings.
