Novak Djokovic vs Casper Ruud Prediction & Picks - ATP Monte Carlo Masters
by Edgar Jibran | in ATP Monte Carlo Masters Picks
The second semifinal match of the Montecarlo ATP 1000 is going to be disputed not before 07:30 am Central Time next Saturday, April 13th, 2024, when Novak Djokovic clashes with Casper Ruud in a match where the Serbian is the absolute favorite to dispute the Final, scenario that would reflect a personal revenge after he wasn’t able to compete during last year’s edition.
When looking at both players’ performance, Novak Djokovic has won all the previous rounds of this tournament in two straight sets, but it’s important to highlight that he was forced to show all his quality during the quarterfinals match against Alex De Minaur, which lasted 2 hours and 5 minutes. Another important point to remark on that match is that Djokovic committed 18 unforced errors, quantity that is inflated, so he must improve his services and devolutions for this match against Ruud.
On Casper Ruud’s side, the Norwegian player is showing a great recovery after several months of a disappointing level that even took him out of the top 10, spots that he was able to recover recently. However, the fact that he suffered during the quarterfinals in his match against Humbert is a serious advice for him to get focused or he will be overtaken by Djokovic or any other player from the top 5 ATP ranking.
