Ruud finished the tenth game after a 40-0 score in his favour to win the match with a 2-0 score.

We have seen over 22.5 games in four of the last five matches, with Casper Ruud participating. The exact total comes with the odds of 2.00 (+100; 1/1) this time.

Novak Djokovic had close two sets against Taylor Fritz (7-6, 7-6) in the most recent game.

In the fifth game of the first set, Djokovic reached a 40-0 score and converted the first break point, but Taylor Fritz instantly levelled the score, winning the next return game. Then the tennis players traded winning their remaining service games and did not give each other more break point opportunities. Finally, after a 4-5 score in tie-breaks, Djokovic won three points in a row to finish the set in his favour.

Taylor Fritz won the first two games of the second set to receive a fast lead. He kept it to a 5-3 score in his favour. Then Novak Djokovic won three games in a row to level the score. The tennis players were approximately equal in tie-breaks, but Djokovic finally won it with an 8-6 score.

Prediction and betting tips

Novak Djokovic has won 17 of the last 18 matches and a set in his single lost game. In this tournament, the Serbian tennis player showed flawless play. He has won six out of seven played sets and lost a single one on tie-breaks. Also, the Serb has won all H2H matches against Casper Ruud to nil.

Casper Ruud has yet to play his best way after losing in the final of the 2022 US Open against Carlos Alcaraz. He has won only seven out of 12 matches after this tournament, playing against weaker rivals. In this tournament, he confidently beat Felix Auger-Aliassime and beat Taylor Fritz in a close game but was smashed by Rafael Nadal in two sets.

I am sure he cannot beat Novak Djokovic in this game, but I believe he will see a total of over 22.5 games. The same outcome has been played in four of the last five matches with Ruud participating.

Betting prediction: Over 22.5 games

Odds: 2.00 (+100 American; 1/1 Fractional)
