Rafael Nadal vs. Casper Ruud preview

Nadal came in this competition with a fitness question mark entering the tournament, but the Spaniard seems to have overcome the problem. Nadal has a stunning record of not loosing any French open final and he knows time is running out to add to his legacy.

Ruud is on the other hand is playing for the first time in his career in a Tournament Final. He won the Buenos Aires event in February and in Geneva last month. He should be more rested in comparison to Nadal, who has played two 4+ hours matches in the semis.

What maybe the comparison is Rafael Nadal is definitely way ahead of his younger opponent by means of experience. Ruud’s youthful energy and youth spirit will give him more spirit to play, but Nadal is the Clay court legend. If Ruud can control his nerves playing with his idol he can make pass him.

Rafael Nadal vs. Casper Ruud prediction

The clay court legend have never played with Ruud in his career  and this is the first time that Nadal and Ruud will play against each other. So, it’s hard to predict the result for the expert. 

Rudd was excellent throughout the year with a 15-5 record and winning the Buens Aires title, but Nadal has never lost the French open final. So, it’ll be a game of experience vs youth.

Nadal maybe the legend but after two semi finals match for so long he must be tired of his fitness and enthusiasm on the other hand Ruud’s youthful energy and youth spirit will give him more energy to play if the young blood can control his nerves playing with his idol he can probably have the taste of the first Grand slam of the career.
