Professional qualities
Ruud always felt confident on the dirt surface. He won most of his trophies — 11 out of 12 — on clay. Last season, for example, he won competitions in Barcelona and Geneva. On clay courts, physical fitness is of great importance, which is currently at a decent level for Kasper.

Earlier, the Russian defeated Francisco Cherundolo and Laszlo Gyere in the tournament bracket.

Current indicators in the tour

Ruud will probably have the advantage on clay, but do not underestimate Medvedev, who demonstrates very high-quality tennis in Madrid. In addition, Daniel knows how to beat the Norwegian, as he leads in a face-to-face confrontation with him with a score of 3-0. We suggest betting on the Russians in this confrontation.
Our betting tip is that Medvedev will win by a factor of 2.52
Bet on the total
The tennis players had previously met three times during their careers. All three matches were played in two sets, but it is worth noting that they never played each other on clay. On the clay courts, however, we think that the match will be a struggle and will be protracted.
The second betting tip is a total of more than 23 games for a coefficient of 1.98
Bet on the first set
In three of Medvedev's last five matches, fewer than 9.5 games were played in the first set. We expect that the upcoming match against Ruud will also start with the grassroots first game.
The betting tip is a total of less than 9.5 games in the first set for a coefficient of 1.71
