Karen Khachanov vs Casper Ruud Prediction and Betting Tips (09.09.2022)

Command Analysis

Karen Khachanov

Russian Federation

Karen Khachanov had a fantastic battle against Nick Kyrgios in the US Open quarterfinal. After three and a half hours and five sets, he defeated the Australian (7-5, 4-6, 7-5, 6-7, 6-4) and progressed to his maiden New York Major semifinal. In previous years, Khachanov couldn't make it past the third round of this tournament. Before beating Kyrgios, the Russian athlete ousted Denis Kudla, Thiago Monteiro, Jack Draper, and Pablo Carreno-Busta.

Casper Ruud

Norway

Casper Ruud had a less difficult quarterfinals match - he closed Matteo Berrettini in three sets (6-1, 6-4, 7-6). At the start of his 2022 US Open campaign, the Norwegian tennis player celebrated success over Kyle Edmund and Tim van Rijthoven. After that, he defeated Tommy Paul in five sets and Corentin Moutet in four sets. This is Ruud's second Grand Slam semifinal this year - in June, he prevailed over Marin Cilic in the French Open semifinal but lost to Rafael Nadal in the decisive match.

Ruud has significantly improved his game on hard over the past year. This year he was the runner-up at the Miami Masters and recently played in the semifinals of the Canadian Open. We believe that the Norwegian player can defeat Khachanov and reach his second Grand Slam final in 2022.

1.81Total over 40 games

The only match between these two players was quite long, and we expect a similarly close battle today. Ruud is the favorite in this pair, but Khachanov is on top form and should be able to create problems for the Norwegian. Take the over.
