Sebastian Korda vs. Casper Ruud Preview
Sebastian Korda will face Casper Ruud in the quarter-finals of the Stockholm Open.
Korda has struggled to find his potential over the past couple of years. After a second place in Adelaide, he reached the third round in Paris and the quarter-finals in Tokyo. The American also participated in the US Open, but lost to Cameron Norrie in the first round.
Korda entered Stockholm after a short stint at the Shanghai Masters. He beat Alexei Popyrin in the first round, then weathered the storm against Kamil Majchrzak in the second. The 25-year-old outlasted Majchrzak in a tight three-set fight, 6-4, 4-6, 7-5.
Meanwhile, Casper Ruud won his first Masters 1000 title in Madrid this year. He also reached the final in Dallas and the semi-finals in Tokyo. Despite a spirited performance against Carlos Alcaraz, the Spaniard beat him at this year’s Japan Open.
Ruud entered Stockholm after being eliminated in the second round in Shanghai. He started his campaign with a solid victory against Marin Cilic, 7-6(2), 6-4. The Norwegian won 91% of his first serve points and faced only one break point in the final round.

Prediction Sebastian Korda vs. Casper Ruud
Korda was among the top 20 players in the world last year, but is now ranked outside the top 50. He has a great chance to gain momentum this week and make his mark in Stockholm.
Ruud, meanwhile, was one set away from reaching the final in Tokyo. He continued his promising form in Stockholm and must rely on himself to do well this week.
Given their acuity in recent months and their results at the highest level, the Norwegian will be a slight favorite to reach the last four. His aggressive style and precise groundstrokes should help him handle Korda’s technical game on hard courts.
Take: Ruud will win in three sets.
