Tennis Predictions
During this round of 16 of the Moselle Open, we find Frenchman Benjamin Bonzi facing Norwegian Casper Ruud, seeded number 2. Benjamin Bonzi, who entered through qualifying, won all of his 3 matches here in just 2 sets. He has just stopped the Spanish winner of the Antwerp tournament, Roberto Bautista-Agut, during the first round. This is a great victory for someone who seems unstoppable on this hard surface. Author of the superb series of 14 consecutive victories in the month of October, the Frenchman won titles at the Challengers of Roanne and Saint Brieuc, before also being a finalist in Brest. Supported by his audience, he should not give up anything in this match.
Casper Ruud, a member of the top 10, enters this tournament. Qualified for next week's ATP Finals, the Norwegian is playing without pressure in this tournament. But he should want to return to victory before facing the other 7 best players of the season. Indeed, he has 3 defeats in a row, not having made it past the first rounds in Basel against Roberto Bautista-Agut then in Paris against Jordan Thompson.
