As expected, Rune defeated Koepfer in two sets in the quarterfinals, but we can't say that the Dane won easily. In both matches, he won the tie-break, but in the second set, the tie-break ended with a score of 7:0 for Holger. During the game, Rune made seven aces with one double fault and won 77% of the points on the first serve and 46% on the second serve. Return statistics: 28%/48%, winners/unforced errors stats 22/7. Before beating Köpfer, Rune defeated Mmo and Kovacevic in two games.

Expert Betting Tips

Ruud is underrated. The Norwegian has an advantage over the Dane, but we have already considered that the guys have never played on hard courts. And as we know, the surface is a profile for the Norwegian, while the Dane feels very comfortable on hard courts. According to this line, we bet on the underdog. We believe the Dane will be closer and expect a long match overall. The opponents are worthy of each other.
