Ruud vs Alcaraz Betting Pick
The US Open in 2022 has been insane, with upsets and legendary five-set matches playing out left and right. But the final will be a battle of top-five players, with the winner getting their first major title and the number one ranking in the world. Carlos Alcaraz and Casper Ruud have looked great over the last two weeks, but only one will lift one of the most prestigious trophies in tennis. In our tennis predictions, we look at the Ruud vs Alcaraz matchup at the US Open final.
Why Bet On The Over:
✅ The time on court difference heading into this match will make a huge difference in helping Ruud push this match to four or five sets. Alcaraz has played three straight five-set matches at this tournament, and while he has been able to rise to the occasion when he has needed to, his level has not been consistently high because of all that time on court. That will lead to a four or five-set affair that will go over the total number of games.
✅ The crowd for this match will be mostly neutral, as there are no Americans competing in this matchup. The top priority of the crowd will be getting as much tennis as possible, as they will hope to witness a legendary five-set affair. That will help whichever player is trailing early to get their second wind to get this game to at least 40 service games.

✅ This match is reminiscent of the 2020 final between Dominic Thiem and Sascha Zverev. Two players who have not won a major yet are squaring off, with Alcaraz being a bigger hitter and Ruud being more of a problem solver. That match went to a fifth set tiebreak, and this one could very well come down to the last couple of service games available in the fifth set as well.
Casper Ruud
Casper Ruud has done an incredible job of taking advantage of a favorable draw at this year’s US Open. He managed to avoid Stefanos Tsitsipas, Nick Kyrgios, and Daniil Medvedev as they were all knocked out before they would have faced Ruud. Instead, Ruud took care of business against Matteo Berrettini and Karen Khachanov over the last couple of rounds to get to the final, as he looks for his first major and the number one ranking.
For Ruud, the key to this match is going to be absorbing pace without giving up too much territory on the court. Alcaraz is so vicious with his groundstrokes that he can push opponents clear off the court at times. But if Ruud can hang around and protect his own serve, he could benefit from the sheer amount of time that the Spaniard has had to play over the last few rounds.
Carlos Alcaraz
Carlos Alcaraz has played three straight five-set matches to get to the US Open final. Those five-set victories came against Marin Cilic, Jannik Sinner, and Frances Tiafoe, with Alcaraz overcoming an American to reach this stage. Alcaraz now has the chance to capture the world number one ranking, which is the trajectory where his career appears to be heading for the foreseeable future.
The biggest question heading into this match is going to be whether fatigue will come into play for Alcaraz here. Not only has he played three straight five-setters, but those five-setters were all the last match of the night on their respective courts, ending as late as 2:50 AM in New York. If he can overcome all of that to win this match, he will be a worthy world number one to say the least.
