Casper Ruud -2.5 -118 2U

Roberto Bautista-Agut won his first title of the year in Antwerp this week. 48 hours later he finds himself in a different city under different conditions to play Ruud who is arguably the most demanding matchup on the tour. This is a PRIME spot to fade the 36 year old who is already declining physically. Since 2020, when winning more than 2 rounds in a tournament and traveling to another in the same week, he has NEVER won as an underdog. After seeing the draw, he will know this is the worst possible matchup to break this streak. Casper Ruud has made a name for himself by breaking down opponents in physical matches. His brutal forehand can run opponents side to side for hours and destroy their legs forcing errors. Bautista-Agut will be the next victim and fail to find the juice to even make this a competitive match. The Spaniard has rarely strung together back to back wins this year so he will be GASSED after playing 5 matches last week. Older players can often produce a high level when fresh but struggle to recover since their muscles lose mass and aren’t as efficient as 18-25 year olds in their prime. He also plays a passive style which Ruud enjoys as he can play points on his own terms. Ruud hates being on the defense and not being able to control point with his forehand which is why we max faded him against an aggressive player like Griekspoor last week. Ruud is not the best indoor player but in first rounds he has won more than 65% of matches in his career. Last year he took out Bublik in round 1 of Basel, one of the best indoor talents. All things considered, this will be a cake walk for Ruud and Bautista-Agut will struggle to put up a fight. 6-4 6-1.
