4th seed Casper Ruud will face teenage phenom Holger Rune in the 2nd round of the Monte Carlo Masters on Wednesday. Ruud, ranked 7 in the world has had a great season so far, improving immensely on hard courts and climbing up the rankings. It might only get better from here as clay is his favoured surface and he will be looking to stay in form. 18 year old Rune has had a good season with a few notable wins here and there. Though he is only 18, he is already capable of going toe-to-toe with top ranked players and could take the fight to Ruud.

Casper Ruud Vs Holger Rune Match Prediction: Who Will Win This Match?
Ruud is the heavy favourite to win. Given his recent form and record over Rune, it will be very tough for Rune to make it past him. Ruud has been dominating the game with his heavy groundstrokes and uses them to dictate and finish points at will. Being a clay court event also rules things in Ruud’s favour as this is his favoured surface and his heavy shots will do more damage here.
Prediction: Ruud to win in straight sets.
