Shapovalov and Ruud will meet in the finals of the tournament in Dallas on February 9. Shapovalov, having beaten the reigning champion Paul in the semi-finals in Dallas, got a great opportunity to win his first ATP 500 title in his career. An experienced Ruud is waiting for him in the final. Will Denis be able to break the resistance of the Norwegian? - the bets for this match are in our forecast.
Command Analysis
Denis Shapovalov
CanadaCurrent form
Shapovalov beat Tommy Paul (7-5, 6-3) in the semifinals of the competition in Dallas. Denis made six aces in a duel against the American, made two break points and did not lose a single game on his serve. Earlier, Kanalets passed Tomas Makhach, Taylor Fritz and Miomir Kechmanovich in the tournament bracket.
Professional qualities
Shapovalov continues to impress with the efficiency of the forehand, which works smoothly in Dallas. The backhand, despite its traditional weaknesses, looks quite confident. An important factor is a stable first serve: he lost only four of his games in ten games. At crucial moments, Denis does not limit himself to playing on the back line, but boldly goes to the net, which brings him extra points.
Current indicators in the tour
Last season Shapovalov won the tournament in Belgrade. For Denis, it was the eighth title of his career. The Canadian is currently ranked 54th in the world rankings.
Interesting facts for betting
Shapovalov has won only one final in the last five finals.
Casper Ruud
NorwayCurrent form
Ruud defeated the resistance of Jaume Munyar (6-2, 2-6, 7-6) in the semi-finals of the tournament in Dallas. Kasper scored four aces against the Spaniard, made three break points and lost three games on his serve. On the way to the final, the Norwegian passed Yoshihito Nishioka, Michael Mmo and James Duckworth.
Professional qualities
Ruud is one of the few representatives of Norwegian tennis at the highest level. His strengths are excellent coordination, the ability to control the pace of the game and endurance, which allows him to withstand protracted fights. In recent seasons, he has been actively improving his hard court game, focusing on attacking elements. However, he still lacks confidence in matches against top opponents in the decisive stages of tournaments.
Current indicators in the tour
Last season, Ruud put two trophies in his piggy bank - he won on clay in Barcelona and Geneva. During his career, Kasper has won 15 trophies, 12 of which are in the ATP category. The Norwegian is currently in fifth place in the world ranking.
Interesting facts for betting
Ruud has won ten times in the last 12 meetings against tennis players with a one-handed backhand.
