Arribage T / Safiullin R vs Nadal R / Ruud CA Prediction & Picks - Bastad, Sweden, Doubles
by Lou Aguila | in Tennis Picks
Casper Ruud and Rafael Nadal continue their build-up for the Olympic games, as the newly-formed tandem take on Theo Arribagé and Roman Safiullin in the second round of the men's doubles tournament at the 2024 Swedish Open. Ruud and Nadal ended up triumphant in their first match doubles match together, beating Guido Andreozzi and Miguel Ángel Reyes-Varela in straight sets 6-1, 6-4. Nadal, who is playing in Bastad for the first time since his teenage years, teamed up with Ruud, the man he beat to capture his 14th and final singles title at Roland Garros in 2022. The Spaniard is scheduled to participate in his final Olympic Games, where he is expected to compete in both the men's singles and doubles (with Carlos Alcaraz) for Spain. Meanwhile, Theo Arribage and Roman Safiullin will be there to spoil the fun for Nadal and Ruud in this tourney. The Frenchman-Russian connection is coming off a dominant first-round win over Mariano Navone and Cameron Norrie 6-3, 6-2.

Our Arribage T / Safiullin R vs Nadal R / Ruud CA Prediction
Even at this point of his career, Nadal is still capable of hitting those signature groundstroke shots that baffled many opponents in the past. In their match against the No.2 seed Andreozzi and Reyes-Varela, Nadal was still effective in scoring points by catching their opponents off-guard and overpowering them with his burgeoning playing style. Ruud's baseline attack has synced in well with Nadal so far, and we obviously would love to see them play more matches in this tourney. In the end, I feel the combined skillset and star power of Nadal and Ruud would be too much for Arribage and Safiullin to handle. Our betting prediction for Rafael Nadal & Casper Ruud vs. Theo Arribage and Roman Safiullin: Bet on Nadal and Ruud to win, -550, at BetMGM.
