Novak Djokovic vs Casper Ruud: World No.3 Novak Djokovic will face Norway’s Casper Ruud in the final of the 2024 French Open on Sunday (June 11) on Court Philippe-Chatrier.
Surprisingly, Djokovic to come extent was considered an underdog in front of World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz in the semifinal because the latter has been playing some great tennis this year. But the Serb ended the 20-year-old’s campaign with a 6-3, 7-5, 6-1, 6-1 win to get an inch closer to lifting his record 23rd Grand Slam.
Last year, Casper Ruud faced Rafael Nadal, the most successful Roland Garros winner who has lifted a record 14 Grand Slams. And this year, it’s the 22nd Grand Slam winner Novak Djokovic. Ruud will be the underdog here and he will be doing his best to beat the 36-year-old. In the semi-final, the Norwegian easily defeated Germany’s Alexander Zverev 6-3, 6-4, 6-0 in just two hours and three minutes to storm into his successive Roland Garros final.

Novak Djokovic vs Casper Ruud prediction
Undoubtedly, Djokovic will enter the match as the favorite but that doesn’t mean one can think of Ruud as not an equal opponent. The Norwegian is a defending Roland Garros finalist which only proves he is quite a danger on the clay surface. The biggest threat for Ruud will be the Serb’s mental strength as the latter has time and again made comebacks despite being on the verge of losing the game.
Prediction: Djokovic in four sets.
