We’ve got an all-Scandinavian battle in the quarterfinal of the 2025 Barcelona Open as Holger Rune of Denmark takes on defending champion Casper Ruud of Norway on Friday.
Rune trounced a pair of strong clay-court players to reach the quarterfinals of the Barcelona Open – his second quarterfinal appearance on the ATP Tour in 2025. Rune trounced Albert Ramos Vinolas 7-5 6-4 before he rallied from a set down to beat Sebastian Baez 4-6 6-1 6-2 in the second round.
Meanwhile, Ruud’s title bid remains intact after fending off a serious challenge from Hamad Medjedovic 7-5 7-5 in the second round. It has been an up-and-down season for Norway’s No.1 player, but the clay-court season offers him an opportunity to get more ranking points and reinforce his position in the ATP top 10. Ruud is a two-time French Open finalist and is considered among the best players on clay post the Big-4 era.

Our Holger Rune vs Casper Ruud Prediction
Casper Ruud is 5-1 vs. Holger Rune on clay and 6-1 overall. Unlike any other surface, Ruud flourishes on clay, filling most of his trophy shelf with clay court titles. Rune is another terrific player who also thrives on clay and is a two-time French Open quarterfinalist. It’s always a must-see every time these two top-tier players share the court. Ruud had dominated Rune in the earlier stage of their rivalry, but the Dane began to push the Norwegian in their last four encounters, which all needed extra sets to decide a winner. Their upcoming quarterfinal match this Friday could also go the distance, given how well these two played in this tourney. Ruud has held 100 percent of his serves, while Rune has won 91 percent in Barcelona. And you know what would happen when you have both competitors serving really well? Tiebreakers and deciding sets happen. Our betting prediction for Casper Ruud vs. Holger Rune: Total Over 23.5 Games.
