These two have already competed against one another at the greatest level, and that match took place in the 2022 Munich Open. In that second round match, Molcan was defeated by Ruud in three sets.
In a previous Challenger match in Sevilla, also on clay, Molcan had triumphed over Ruud.
Prediction
Casper Ruud and Alex Molcan are set to meet tomorrow at the Canadian Open 2022.
Ruud was defeated by a fiery Carlos Alcaraz the last time he faced up on a hard court. However, that isn’t the whole story, which highlights the effort Ruud has put in to succeed in non-clay court contests.
Considering that the top-ranked Norwegian was competing against Alcaraz in the Miami Masters final, a berth he had secured with victories over Cameron Norrie and Alexander Zverev.
Since then, Ruud has returned to clay, captivating spectators with his steadiness while winning the Geneva Open and Gstaad Open championships and making it to the Roland-Garros final. Given that he has been away from hard courts for around five months, it will be challenging for him to return, but he does have a hard-court opponent in Molcan.
On the other hand, for the 42nd-ranked player, who had only two other victories in previous seasons on hard courts, this was a great start. Late in the first set, Molcan dropped his serve only to break back to love and force a tiebreaker. He then defeated McDonald 7-1, and to complete the victory, he broke his Australian rival in the fifth game of the second set.
Although Ruud may not be the finest player on hard court surfaces, he has made significant progress there, and although rustiness may also be a factor, he opens the match as a big favourite.
