Casper Ruud vs Andrey Rublev prediction, betting tips & odds, head-to-head, preview: ATP Finals 2024
Casper Ruud, Andrey Rublev face off in a must win encounter in ATP Finals 2024.
Tennis stars Casper Ruud and Andrey Rublev will meet in a crucial Round Robin match at the Nitto ATP Finals 2024 on Friday evening with both players seeking to bounce back from disappointing straight-set losses in their previous match.
The encounter scheduled on Centre Court also marks the eighth career meeting between these familiar foes as both players finds themselves in a precarious position of stumbling out of the gates in Turin and a loss here would severely damage their hopes of advancing to the tournament’s semi-final stage.
Match Details
Tournament: ATP Finals 2024
Round: Round-robin stage
Date: November 15
Venue: Inalpi Arena, Turin
Surface: Hard Court
Preview
Both players have shown mixed form in Turin. Ruud (World No. 7) enters after a 7-6(3), 6-3 loss to Alexander Zverev while Rublev also comes off a straight-sets defeat to Carlos Alcaraz.
Their tournament started differently for both players as Ruud stunned Alcaraz 6-1, 7-5 in his opener, while Rublev fell to Zverev 6-4, 6-4. This sets up a must-win situation for both players in the John Newcombe Group.
Ruud’s tournament has been a tale of two matches and after dominating a seemingly ill Alcaraz with aggressive baseline play he did struggle against Zverev despite serving at 85% first serves. The Norwegian who has reached the ATP Finals championship match in 2022 needs to win to keep his semifinal hopes alive.
Rublev, meanwhile has yet to find his rhythm in Turin and has lost his sixth straight ATP Finals match. His powerful groundstrokes were neutralized by both Zverev and Alcaraz and managed to win only 14 games across four sets.

Match Prediction
While Rublev leads their head-to-head 5-2 overall, Ruud holds a perfect 2-0 record against the Russian on indoor hardcourts on the surface they’ll compete on.
Ruud enters the match with momentum after upset victory over World No. 3 Carlos Alcaraz (6-1, 7-5) and has historically done well on indoor hardcourt which is clear in his career 56-37 win record on the surface. Despite a challenging 2-7 indoor hardcourt record in 2024 the recent win over Alcaraz will give him some confidence.
The Norwegian has also captured two titles in 2024 (Barcelona, Geneva) and maintains a better win loss stats in 2024. His defensive consistency and particularly in extended rallies matches up well against Rublev’s aggressive style. While Rublev recents back-to-back losses indicate vulnerability.
The slower indoor court conditions in Turin should favor Ruud’s methodical game plan, allowing him to neutralize Rublev’s powerful groundstrokes and exploit longer exchanges and he also have had a history of doing better in Turin as against Rublev.
Result: Ruud to win in three sets.
