Val's ATP Monte Carlo Play Round 3
Our H. Rune play is still pending but he is up a set and a break, so hopefully he can finish off Nagal early in the morning. Tomorrow we have a play for round 3.
Record 32-39 (-9.29 units)
Casper Ruud -1.5 sets +126 (Risk 1 for 1.26 units) Expected start time noon EST April 11th
Norway's C. Ruud faces Poland's H. Hurkacz in the 3rd round of the Monte Carlo Open tomorrow. Ruud got a 1st round by and easily took care of his 2nd round opponent A. Tabilo in straight sets today. Hurkacz has played 2 matches, needing 3 sets to win his opening round match versus Britain's J. Draper and followed that up with a straight set victory of an old R. Bautista Agut. Outside of R. Nadal & C. Alcaraz, Ruud may be the best clay court player on tour, his overall record of 215-96 speaks for itself. Hurkacz cannot say the same as his clay court game is clearly isn't his strongest, even though he won the Estoril Open last week in Portugal, he didn't play and beat a player ranked inside the top 60 overall. Tomorrow, he will find things a lot more difficult versus the #10 ranked Ruud. I like Ruud in straight sets on his best surface!
