Novak Djokovic vs Casper Ruud Prediction
World number 1 Novak Djokovic became the oldest semi-finalist in the history of the ATP Monte Carlo Masters after knocking out Alex De Minaur 2-0 in the quarter-final. He also surpassed Rafael Nadal for the most semi-final appearances at Masters 1000 tournaments. De Minaur gave Djokovic a hard fight but the Serb’s resilience and consistency helped him carry the day.
Norwegian Casper Ruud was properly tested in his quarter-final match against Frenchman Ugo Humbert before eventually winning 6-3, 4-6, 6-1. After Ruud took the 1st set, Humbert rallied hard to take the 2nd set. In the 3rd set, Ruud showed great composure to break Humbert in the fourth game, and then rode the momentum to take the decisive set.
Djokovic has won all the last 5 meetings against Ruud without dropping even a set. Their last encounter was last year’s Rolland Garros final where the Serb prevailed 3-0. Nevertheless, if ever there is a time for Ruud to get one over Nole then it is now. 36 year old Djokovic showed some discomfort in his match against De Minaur in the quarters and may not be at his physical best. Meanwhile, Ruud is coming of age and played some good tennis in that 3rd set against Humbert. We expect that this meeting this time round will give us a real, well-balanced contest with many games in total.
