Ruud vs Ruusuvuori Preview
The Norwegian Casper faced Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the 1st round. France’s favored son declared that it was his last tournament and the home fans backed him a lot. And the veteran started the match well too. He fought hard and once it seemed like it was the French International who would go to the next round. The irony is he needed to take the medical support during the match and at last, failed to overcome against the high-spirited 23-year-old. The scoreline is 6-7, 7-6, 6-2, and 7-6. Casper is having a great time on the clay court as he won 7 of his 8 ATP titles on his favorite clay court.
Emil Ruusuvuori faced another homegrown player in the 1st round. Ugo Humbert and his match were an entertaining one. Humbert was able to raise his game and win the next two sets to take the match. Ruusuvuori, on the other hand, wasn’t finished yet and jumped out to a 5-1 lead in the fourth set. The Frenchman was serving to stay in the set, and he saved four set points in order to hold his serve and keep the match going.
After that, Humbert won the game by breaking his opponent’s serve and fending off a couple more set points to keep the score at 5-4. As he served for the set for the second time, Ruusuvuori was under a lot of pressure, but he was able to pull through and win the set on his 10th set point.
Emil won the 1st set and then went down to 1-2, nevertheless, he tried hard and played the last two sets well. The scoreline is 6-2, 2-6, 6-7, 6-4, and 6-2. Notably, it’s his first win at the French Open.

Ruud vs Ruusuvuori Prediction:
Casper Ruud beat Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in an emotional match on Tuesday. After the match, the 23-year-old praised France’s favorite son, and he may be backed well at Roland-Garros in return. After defending the Geneva Open last Saturday, Ruud has won seven of his eight ATP titles on clay.
Ruud played well despite Tsonga’s first-round trouble. 41 hits, 25 errors. His forehand was good, and he’ll try to dominate against the Finn.
Emil Ruusuvuori beat Ugo Humbert in five sets on Tuesday, winning the first before coming back from 1-2 down. The 23-year-old is finding his game on clay after struggling last season, but he has drawn one of the toughest opponents in Ruud, who won in straight sets at last month’s Barcelona Open.
Not using his chances against Ruud will cost him. He prefers to play from the baseline, but doing so against the Norwegian won’t help him.
Ruud vs Ruusuvuori Prediction: Casper Ruud should win in 3 sets.
