Casper Ruud arrives in Cincinnati after winning his first ATP Masters 1000 title at the Madrid Open, becoming the first Norwegian to do so in the open era.
Known for his straight stroke as a heavy topspin and his composed judicial presence, Ruud represents a significant threat, in particular in the gatherings.
Arthur Rinderknech, on the other hand, is in this match on a wave of confidence after notable victories, including the defeats of Alexander Zverev in Wimbledon and Ben Shelton at the Queen’s Club. He also won an opening match against Frances Tiafoe at Australian Open with five sets, organizing a return of two sets, winning the third and fourth sets – to lose the fifth.
Its global season record, however, remains modest at 14-21. Coherence against competition from the elites remains a question.

Ruud in 2 consecutive sets. While Rinderknech has shown lightning, the form of the global season of Ruud, the success of the hard terrain and the dominant tête-à-tête make him the clear favorite.
