Rafael Jodar v Casper Ruud

Match preview, prediction and odds

Our pick

LeanWON
R. Jodar to win1.78
Price too short today - wait for 1.82 or bigger · our chance 55% · market 55/45, us 55/45

R. 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).

An opinion from the numbers, not a guarantee. 19+, bet responsibly.

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.
