Second placed Casper Ruud faces Andrey Rublev in the final match of this ATP Finals round-robin group. Ruud has won one and lost his other match so far, while Rublev is bottom of the group after two defeats. Here's our match prediction.

Casper Ruud hasn't been in great form in the run-up to this tournament. His form has improved in this indoor hard court tournament being held in Turin. He beat Alcaraz in straight sets, though his opponent making 34 unforced errors did help. He then faced Alexander Zverev on Wednesday and lost without winning a set.

He's only won two of his seven previous matches against Rublev. Both of his victories have come in this tournament in 2021 and 2022's semi-final. A win over Rublev will take him into the last four.

Andrey Rublev has lost both of his group matches but could still qualify. He still has a chance after Carlos Alcaraz was beaten by Alexander Zverev in Friday's afternoon match in this group. The Russian is yet to win a set in this tournament after losses to Zverev and Alcaraz.

This is his fifth appearance in this tournament but only two years ago has he made it to the last four.  Not since August has he made it past the last eight of a tournament. We tip Ruud to win this.
