Carlos Alcaraz vs Casper Ruud prediction, betting tips & odds, head-to-head, preview: ATP Finals 2024

Carlos Alcaraz is yet to lose a match against Casper Ruud.

A blockbuster rematch from the 2022 US Open final fires up Monday’s action at the ATP Finals 2024 in Turin as world no #3 Carlos Alcaraz plays seventh seed Casper Ruud, each chasing their first year-end championship title. Alcaraz has been on fire this year with two grand slam titles while Ruud will aim to redeem a disappointing defeat against Jordan Thompson in Japan.

Match Details

Tournament: ATP Finals 2024

Round: Group Stage

Date: November 11

Venue: Inalpi Arena, Turin, Italy

Surface: Hard Court (Indoor)

Preview

Alcaraz has been on a historic run this year. After starting the season with a quarter-final appearance at the Australian Open which didn’t go as planned, he successfully defended his Indian Wells title in March, ending Jannik Sinner’s 19-match win streak.

The Spaniard then achieved a distinctive feat by winning both the French Open (his first) and Wimbledon titles which made him the youngest player ever to win majors on three different surfaces.

Alcaraz had a great showing in Olympics too where he grabbed a silver medal in Paris but stumbled with an early exit at the US Open. Most recently, he clinched the China Open title, adding to his trophy cabinet.

On the other hand, Ruud has been impressive in patches. The Norwegian started strong at the United Cup, leading his nation to the quarterfinals. His hard-court game showed major improvement with finals appearances at both Los Cabos and Acapulco.

The real turning point came on clay, where Ruud reached the Monte Carlo Masters final and then captured his biggest career title at Barcelona. Ruud continued his clay dominance by winning the Geneva Open for the third time, his 11th clay-court title overall.

Match prediction

World No. #3 Carlos Alcaraz comes into the ATP finals clash against Casper Ruud with a solid 4-0 head-to-head against him, with their most recent encounter in Beijing ending in a straight-sets victory (6-4, 6-2) for the Spaniard.

Alcaraz has been dominant on hardcourts in 2024 (22-5) and has massively outperformed Ruud (21-9).

The Norwegian has struggled recently and has suffered early exits in his last five tournaments, including first-round defeats in Tokyo and Basel.

Despite his own recent setbacks in Shanghai and Paris, Alcaraz’s aggressive baseline game has consistently troubled Ruud, who has managed to win only two sets in their four meetings and with better Indoor hard-court stats in 3-1 to ruud’s 1-5, it would be difficult for Ruud to take a set out of Alcaraz.

Result: Carlos Alcaraz to win in straight sets
