LiontipsRuud vs Thompson. Prediction and bets on the ATP Paris match
Command Analysis
Current form
Ruud played in Basel last week. Things ended quickly for Casper there, with a first-round loss to Roberto Bautista Agut. The Norwegian has only one win in four indoor matches this season.
Professional qualities
Ruud has improved his game on fast surfaces in recent seasons. However, the Norwegian still lacks the consistency needed to consistently succeed at the top level. His game is built on a strong serve and a powerful forehand, but this is not enough to confidently defeat even average players.
Current indicators in the tour
Ruud has won two trophies this season - on his specialty clay in Barcelona and Geneva. Casper now has 12 ATP titles. The Norwegian tennis player is currently ranked eighth in the world.
Interesting facts for betting
Ruud has won just one of his last six matches.
Current form
Thompson started the Paris Masters with a straight-sets win over Pedro Martinez (6-4, 6-4). In the match against the Spaniard, Jordan served nine aces, converted two break points and did not lose a single game on his serve. For the Australian, it was his third win on indoor hard courts this season, with one loss.
Professional qualities
Thompson has been showing consistent results this season, although it is difficult to visually notice specific improvements in his game. The Australian has a versatile style that allows him to keep the ball in play well. He has a reliable backhand, although his forehand sometimes fails, preventing him from attacking effectively.
Current indicators in the tour
Thompson is the world 28th ranked player and has one trophy to his name this season. Jordan won Los Cabos earlier this year, the first ATP title in the Australian career.
Interesting facts for betting
Thompson last four matches have ended in straight sets.
