Jannik Sinner is yet to lose to Casper Ruud in head-to-head meetings.
World No. #1 Jannik Sinner faces eighth-ranked Casper Ruud in the ATP Finals 2024 semifinals on Saturday in Turin, Italy. The 23-year-old Italian sensation is enjoying a career-best season with seven titles.
Ruud (2-1) secured his semi-final spot by defeating Andrey Rublev and earlier threw the tournament wide apart with the defeat of Carlos Alcaraz. The Norwegian clay-court specialist has claimed two titles this year in Barcelona and Geneva.

Preview
World No. #1 Sinner enters the fray with momentum after sweeping his group stage, highlighted by the straight sets win over Daniil Medvedev. The Italian is perfect at 3-0 this year in the event.
Ruud, who arrived in Turin after losing four on the trot, has found some form, notably upsetting World No. #3 Carlos Alcaraz, while winning a very important encounter against Andrey Rublev for the second year in succession to go through from his group with two wins from three matches. Sinner, 23, feels he is enjoying his career’s best season so far, while savoring a 68-06 record this season with two grand slam titles.

Match Prediction
Sinner has a 2-0 head-to-head record over Ruud on indoor hardcourts; the two wins have both been at Vienna—they clashed there in 2021, overpowering him in straight sets (7-5, 6-1) and in 2020, with Sinner doubling Ruud up in two tie-breaks (7-6, 6-3). The Italian’s indoor hardcourt is particularly notable in 2024, sporting a perfect 8-0 record compared to Ruud’s struggling 3-6 mark.
The 23-year-old has almost been unplayable this season with an overall record of 68-6 and 40-3 on hardcourts. His recent Turin form shows straight-set victories over top players like Medvedev (6-3, 6-4) and Fritz (6-4, 6-4).
On the flip side, Ruud hasn’t been feeling too hot of late, losing five of his last seven, and while the Norwegian 21-9 hardcourt record for 2024 is pretty impossible to ignore, it’s really not all that close to what Sinner has enjoyed on hard.
