Rune vs Ruud Prediction & Pick

Ruud is out for revenge after losing to Ruud in three sets at the Internazionali BNL d'Italia just under two weeks ago. The good news for the Norwegian competitor is that he's had plenty of success against Ruud in the past, winning four of their five all-time matchups with each victory coming on clay. That includes when Ruud defeated Rune in four sets at last year's French Open.

More 2023 French Open betting coverage from The Duel:

Although Rune picked up the latest victory in this rivalry, I'm taking Ruud to win the rematch. On top of only losing three total sets to his upcoming opponent, Ruud is also 40-12 (76.9%) on clay over the last two years. While Rune has also found clay success, his winning percentage on the surface since 2022 (72.5%, 37-14) is slightly worse.

Besides, Ruud already made it to the French Open Finals in 2022, proving he has what it takes to reach the top. Rune will make things interesting at times, but this is the favorite's showdown to lose.

Winner: Casper Ruud

Rune vs Ruud Best Bet

As for this matchup's best bet, I'm taking Ruud to win the first set at -120 odds. The 24-year-old has won the opening set in each of his last three French Open clashes. Furthermore, he's also won the first set in all but one of his previous five meetings with Rune.

Knowing how to start things off right, Ruud should be victorious in the first set again.

Bet: Casper Ruud to Win First Set (-120)
