Our prediction - handicap (-2.5) to Ruud
Sock was great on clay courts and delivered good performances on grass this year, but recently he suffered a dip in form. He made first-round exits in Atlanta, Washington, Cincinnati, and couldn't make it past the first opponent at the US Open. We doubt Sock will be able to create problems for Ruud.
