LiontipsRuud vs Daniel. Olympic Match Prediction and Bets
Command Analysis
Ruud has once again confirmed his status as a player who performs well on clay. This season, he has won two tournaments on this surface - in Geneva and Barcelona. In total, Casper has won 21 matches on clay in 2024. He has only lost six matches.
However, Ruud is not in the best playing shape heading into the Olympics. At his last tournament, which took place in Bastad, the Norwegian lost to Thiago Monteiro in the first round.
Daniel is exactly the kind of tennis player who performs successfully on clay. However, this season he hasn't been successful on clay. For example, in 2024 Taro won 5 out of 15 matches on clay.
The Japanese player lost his last matches on this surface. In Salzburg he lost to the little-known Frenchman Jacques, and in Bastad to Timofey Skatov.
Tip and bets
Bookmakers have Ruud as a big favourite, but we disagree. Daniel has always performed well on clay, and the Norwegian is not in his best form at the moment. The Scandinavian has never beaten the Japanese by more than five games. We doubt that he will be able to do so now.
Our prediction is Daniel with a handicap of (+5.5) games for 2.00 in BC Fonbet
Bet on total
In their only face-to-face meeting on clay, the tennis players played 19 games. Given their playing form, we believe that something similar will happen this time.
Forecast - total over 18.5 games for 1.65 BC Pari
Tiebreak bet
Daniel's last two clay matches have seen three tiebreaks, and it's possible that something similar could happen against Ruud.
Forecast - tie-break - yes for 1.88 in BC Melbet
