Ruud Rolls into the Semifinals
Ruud has had himself a pretty impressive year so far. The 23-year old is playing with much more confidence and momentum than he has in the past.
He had his work cut out for him, going up against Berrettini in the semifinals, but showed no signs of intimidation, as he came out the gate swinging. He went up 5-0 in the first set, and managed to come out to a 5-1 lead in the second as well.

Karen Khachanov vs Casper Ruud Prediction
Khachanov is coming off a strong win over Kyrgios, where his serve dominated the match. This will be a strong asset for him, if he’s able to continue with it.
Yes, Khachanov has a second to none serve, Ruud has arguably been more consistent than his opponent, and is coming off his best match of the tournament. Ruud also brings a bit more experience than Khachanov, as he’s competed in a major final in the past.
But this could go either way, and because of that, look at how many sets it will take for this match to be completed.
