Nadal vs Ruud Betting Pick
The 2022 French Open housed the favorites on one half of the draw, and mostly underdogs on the other half. That set the stage for a final like this, where the King of Clay in Rafael Nadal is set to take on up and comer Casper Ruud. In our tennis predictions for the French Open final, we look at Nadal vs Ruud as two of the top clay court tennis players on the planet square off for a major championship on the Parisian clay.
Why Bet On Rafael Nadal:
✅ There is a huge experience gap between these players, as this is Ruud’s first major championship match. Nadal, meanwhile, has a documented history unlike any other at this tournament. That experience will be the biggest difference in this match, and will help Nadal grab an early lead and hold it for a convincing victory.
✅ Ruud just is not that bad a matchup for Nadal. Nadal’s only real struggles in this tournament have come against Felix Auger-Aliassime and Sascha Zverev, who have huge first serves and massive groundstrokes. Ruud hits a slower ball with more topspin, and you are not going to win a topspin battle with Rafa Nadal at the French Open final.

✅ We have already seen Nadal hit through the best defensive tennis player of all-time in this tournament when he dismantled Novak Djokovic. Ruud is a solid defender in his own right, but as long as Rafa is right physically, Ruud’s defense will not be enough here.
Rafael Nadal
Rafael Nadal was not overlooked coming into the French Open, but he was expected to be outdone by the likes of Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz. That did not happen, as Nadal crushed Djokovic and avoided Alcaraz en route to the French Open final. While this campaign has not been flawless for Nadal, he is back on a stage where it is not impossible to beat him, but it is not far from it.
For Nadal, the key to this match will be putting the pressure on Casper Ruud early. Ruud has never played in a major final before, and if Nadal can blitz him and take an early lead, the Norwegian could fold under the weight of the moment. We saw a similar situation unfold in the women’s title match between Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff, and Nadal will look to make the men’s final unfold in similar fashion.
Casper Ruud
Casper Ruud’s road to the French Open final did not feature some of the names it was expected to, with players like Andrey Rublev and Stefanos Tsitsipas falling short of potential matchups with the Norwegian. But the new Prince of Clay beat everyone on front of him, including Marin Cilic in the semifinals, to get to his first major championship match here. Now, Ruud has the chance to prove that he is the heir to Nadal’s throne on clay.
This match all comes down to the way that Ruud starts things off. He can drop the first set and still fight back, but he needs to come out and play well from the start to keep his confidence for the rest of the match. In his first ever meeting with Nadal, we will see if he can accomplish that with the world watching.
