Prediction
2022 French Open finalist Casper Ruud will take on 2021 Wimbledon runner-up Matteo Berrettini in the quarterfinals of the 2022 US Open on Tuesday.
With wins over Kyle Edmund, Tim van Rijthoven and Tommy Paul, Ruud set up a fourth-round encounter with Corentin Moutet.
The Norwegian dominated the opening set, reeling off five consecutive games to hand his opponent an opening set breadstick.
Ruud continued to dictate the proceedings in the second set as well, breaking Moutet’s serve twice en route to nabbing it.
The World No. 7 led 4-2 in the third set and was on the cusp of victory. However, the Frenchman fought back and took the set into a tie-break, which he ended up winning.
Ruud regrouped quickly in the fourth set as he jumped to a 4-1 lead. There were no slip-ups on his part this time, and he broke his opponent’s serve one last time to win 6-1, 6-2, 6-7(4), 6-2. He has now reached the quarterfinals of the US Open for the first time in his career.
