Casper Ruud is looking to reach a first Masters quarter-final in 2025 when he takes on Sebastian Korda in Madrid on Sunday. These two meet in the third round at Madrid, with the winner to meet Taylor Fritz or Benjamin Bonzi. Let’s have a look at the prediction for this match.

Korda has had a smooth start in Madrid: a first-round bye and then a three-set win over wildcard Federico Cina. It gets tougher from this point on, and the American will hope to rise up against a top 20 player.

In his last six matches against top 20 players, Korda suffered defeat. The most recent such game was in Barcelona last week when he lost to Stefanos Tsitsipas at the second hurdle.

Casper Ruud is once again benefitting from a manageable draw at the early stages. Clay is his preferred surface, and he should take advantage to improve on an already indifferent campaign.

After a first-round bye, the Norwegian saw off Arthur Rinderknech in straight sets last time out. He will hope to continue on a steady rise after being dethroned at Barcelona last week.

This is his seventh Madrid appearance, and Ruud hoped to better his semi-final run in 2021. He has never lost a third-round match here and will want to keep that going.
