Casper Ruud vs Alexander Zverev Prediction

Zverev got needed rest after playing a ton of Tennis in previous matches. However, Ruud is as fresh as ever after not having to play since Monday. Ruud comfortably beat Zverev in this same spot last year. Ruud has won the last two matches against Zverev, including a win in these conditions. It’s going to come down to how consistent Zverev is serving, as he’s been dominant at times, but he did have issues in the quarterfinals. Like the first semifinal match, this has a chance to be a long, physical match. The value is with Ruud and the even money.
