LiontipsHolger Rune - Kasper Ruud: prediction and bets for the match ATP Barcelona
Command Analysis
Current form
Rune was stronger than Sebastian Baez in the second round of the competition in Barcelona - 4-6, 6-1, 6-2. Holger made one ace in the confrontation with the Argentine, made six break points and lost three games on his serve. In the first round, the Dane beat Albert Ramos-Vinolas.
Professional qualities
Rune always tries to play to the limit of his abilities - aggression in his style can be traced from the very first blow. He strives to give each blow maximum sharpness, but such tactics often result in a large number of mistakes. Therefore, his performances are unstable - if the game does not work out, Holger is able to concede even to a deliberately weaker opponent, which he has already demonstrated several times this season, losing to Martinez, Navona, Nakashima and Borges.
Current indicators in the tour
Rune has won four ATP trophies in his career. In 2023, Holger won his last title by winning the dirt track competition in Munich. The 21-year-old Dane is currently in 13th place in the world rankings.

Current form
Ruud defeated Hamad Medjedovic 7-5, 7-5 in the second round of the competition in Barcelona. Kasper made three aces, made four break points, and lost two games on his serve in a duel with the Serbian. The Norwegian beat Daniel Galan in the first round.
Professional qualities
Ruud is a classic representative of the clay tennis school with an emphasis on a good forehand. He tries to build jokes around his forehand. This approach works perfectly on clay courts, where the bounce is high and Kasper has time to prepare the perfect shot. It was on clay that the Norwegian won the most tournaments in his career - let's remind that Ruud is the current champion of the competitions currently taking place in Barcelona.
Current indicators in the tour
