Second seed Alexander Zverev takes on sixth seed Casper Ruud in the quarterfinals of the Miami Masters on Wednesday. The German has been having a turbulent season so far manifestig in the form of early exits and bad behaviour. He has not been tested at the Miami Open yet, with his wins coming over lower ranked players like Thanasi Kokkinakis and Borna Coric. Casper Ruud has not been consistent as well this season. While he won the Argentina Open against Diego Schwartzman, he also faced early exits at subsequent tournaments.

Casper Ruud Vs Alexander Zverev: Head-To-Head

Casper Ruud Vs Alexander Zverev Match Prediction: Who Will Win This Match?
The German will rely heavily on his powerful shots, particularly his two-handed backhand to trouble Ruud. Zverev has a very good first serve when it lands and we can expect to see many aces from the German. Ruud’s groundstrokes and return game can trouble Zverev. Especially if Zverev starts double-faulting, which he tends to do in pressure situations. Though it promises to be a highly contested match, Zverev is the better player on hard courts and also has the head-to-head in his favour.
Prediction: Zverev to win in 3 sets.
