The match between Alcaraz and Ruud is expected to be a tough competition on slow courts. Ruud is capable of providing real resistance thanks to his stability and experience on such surfaces. Considering that in their recent head-to-head matches "Caru" was not the stronger one, a certain level of struggle can be expected. Taking into account the previous results and Ruud's ability to create problems for the Spaniard, the match could be interesting and sets could go both ways. This time, Ruud may offer resistance and even take a set off Alcaraz.
