Rafael Jodar v Casper Ruud
Match preview, prediction and odds
Our pick
LeanWONR. Jodar is 7-3 over the last ten and 36-13 on hard this season. C. Ruud is 7-3 over the last ten and 17-12 on hard this season.
The pick is R. Jodar to win. We make it a 55% chance, so it is only worth backing at 1.82 or bigger. At 1.78 that is not there yet - leave it, or wait for the price to drift in-play (an early break against usually does it).

Head to head
This season & this event
Ranking points fall off a year after they are earned, so a player who went deep here last year must match it or drop in the rankings. That shapes effort in a way the price does not always show.
