Sebastian Korda as Kasper Ruud. Prediction for the ATP Madrid match
Korda and Ruud will meet in the third round of the Masters in Madrid on April 27. Ruud is traditionally strong on clay courts, and during the preparation for Roland Garros, his motivation and concentration usually reach their peak. In the upcoming match against Korda, it is the Norwegian who looks like a clear favorite. Yes, the American has more powerful punches, but on slow ground this quality often fades into the background.

Command Analysis
Sebastian Korda

Korda beat Federico Chin 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 in the second round of the competition in Madrid. Sebastian scored seven aces against the Italian, made three break points and lost one game on his serve. It was the American's second victory on clay this season, with two losses.
Professional qualities
Korda is a representative of aggressive tennis, betting on attacking actions. His results largely depend on his psychological readiness - mental fluctuations sometimes prevent Sebastian from playing a match at a high level.

For this strike, he often shifts to the right, adding dynamism and surprise to his attack.

7 of Ruud's last 8 matches have been played in two sets.
1.59Tip and bets
Ruud traditionally plays well on clay, and in the run-up to Roland Garros, he gets to work hard. We believe that Korda has few chances of success in the upcoming match. Sebastian is certainly more powerful in punches, but these qualities fade into the background on the ground.
Our prediction is that Ruud will win with a handicap of (-3) games by a factor of 1.92
Bet on the total
Korda did not have the best opening match in Madrid, where he lost a set to a little-known Rank. It will be much more difficult for an American to deal with Ruud. We expect that the upcoming match will not last long.

In four of Ruud's last five matches, more than 9.5 games were played in the first set. Most likely, the upcoming match against Korda will also start with the riding of the first game.
