Rafael Nadal and Casper Ruud have never faced each other before and this is going to be their first encounter tomorrow at the French Open 2022 final.
Prediction
Rafael Nadal and Casper Ruud are set to have a final match at the French Open tomorrow for the battle of title.
Casper Ruud has been playing so good recently. The Norwegian recently reached the Geneva Open final and semifinals of the Italian Open beating quality players. He also reached the Miami Open final and won the Argentina Open title. He also reached several quarterfinals this season and has been consistent throughout.
On the other hand, Following the departure of Alcaraz and Djokovic, Rafael Nadal is now the clear favourite left in the tournament. The 13-time Roland Garros champion demonstrated why he is known as the “King of Clay” in a tough battle against World No. 1 Novak Djokovic before receiving a walkover from Alexander Zverev in the semifinals yesterday. With his superb comebacks and defensive play, the 21-time Grand Slam champion is a force to be reckoned with on clay.
The main problem for Nadal is that he has complained about his foot in previous semifinals this season, including after a gruelling, hard-fought triumph over the Serb in the last eight that lasted four hours and forty minutes. Even though he showed no signs of difficulty or discomfort, this alone could pose him problems in the final versus Ruud.
Nadal is the favourite in this match due to his heavy groundstrokes and defensive play. His experience on the clay and comebacks are enough to power him towards his 14th in Paris and 22nd Grand Slam.
