Ruud vs Machac Key Stats

Casper, after turning pro in the year 2015, has progressed as a player to win over 171 matches in the span of seven years. Since 2019, he has been consistent with his performances and has finished every calendar year with a positive win-loss record.

He has been a source of inspiration for budding players with nine singles titles overall. He has also recorded over half a century of wins on two occasions, one in 2021 and another in 2022. Having made it into the top three of the ATP rankings, he will surely look to stamp his presence in the games to come.

Tomas Machac, on the other hand, has a fairly young career after turning pro in 2017. He comes with a lot of promise but has yet to record potential wins to make a mark for himself. Having won two challenger tournaments in the year 2022, he has attained a 97 ATP rank.

Ruud vs Machac Betting Prediction

The match is tilted more toward Casper due to his better win rate and greater experience playing on the big stages. He comes into the game with consistency on his side, and he is more settled as a player for the big stage. Meanwhile, Tomas has yet to taste success on the bigger stages and lacks experience which puts him down in this matchup.

Having played more games regularly, we can expect Casper to play well enough to win in this challenge.
