Preview:
In the semifinal, Casper Ruud defeated Reilly Opelka in 7-6 and 7-5 sets. In the quarterfinal, he met Thanasi Kokkinakis, where he gained a victory with 6-4, 7-6 points. Ruud has not dropped a single set throughout the tournament, and his confident gameplay makes him a worthy contender for the trophy.
Ruud started the year by winning the Argentina Open last February. He has been consistent in his games, reached the Miami Open finals, and eventually lost against Alcaraz. In his most recent tournament in the Italian Open, he reached the semifinal but lost against the World’s number 1, Novak Djokovic.

The year hasn’t been great for the Portuguese so far. He couldn’t pass the quarterfinal in his most recent tournament, the Italian Open.

Ruud vs Sousa Prediction:
Casper Ruud is hard to beat in high-level competitions. The Norwegian hasn’t broken through on the sport’s greatest stage, but he’s above mid-tier competitors. Clay courts suit the Norwegian’s game best, and he appears poised to win this event. Joao Sousa’s unbeaten run to the final is surprising. The final will be a step up from his opponents thus far, and the Portuguese may struggle.
Sousa’s week has been great. It’s fantastic to watch him play the tennis he’s known for. Ruud has already defeated Sousa twice, so it’s hard to pick against him here. Ruud should dominate baseline rallies, and his solid serving should strain Sousa. Ruud should win his second championship of the year and shine in the French Open.
Prediction: Casper Ruud will win the match.
