LiontipsRuud vs Cherundolo. Prediction and bets on the Laver Cup match
Command Analysis
Current form
Ruud played in the Davis Cup last week, where he played two matches, losing to Enrique Rocha but then beating Jamie Faria. Casper has not played a single match on indoor hard courts this season.
Professional qualities
Ruud is an absolute leader on clay, but he also demonstrates a consistently high level of play on hard. A powerful serve and strong shots with both hands allow him to successfully perform on various surfaces and stay in the top 10 of the rating due to a high percentage of games won.
Current indicators in the tour
Ruud is in the top 10 of the world rankings and is currently ranked ninth. Once, let us recall, Casper was the world's second racket. This season, the Norwegian won two trophies - on specialized clay, he won in Barcelona and Geneva.
Interesting facts for betting
Ruud has played three Laver Cup matches in his career, winning all of them.
Current form
Francisco Cerundolo played three matches at the Davis Cup last week, losing to Denis Shapovalov and beating Jack Draper and Otto Virtanen. The Argentine has not played a single match on indoor hard courts this season.
Professional qualities
Cerundolo is undoubtedly a talented clay court player. His grass court victory at Eastbourne last season was a welcome exception, but overall he has not yet demonstrated consistent results on fast surfaces. A lack of attacking game and problems adapting to the speedy conditions make it difficult for the Argentine on fast courts.
Current indicators in the tour
Cerundolo is ranked 31st in the world. This season, he has won the tournament in Umag. It was the third ATP title in Francisco's career.
Interesting facts for betting
Cerundolo has four wins in his last six hard court matches against top-10 players.
