Casper Ruud vs Daniel Altmaier Preview

Casper Ruud is seeded at No. 8 at this year’s Paris Masters and received a bye in the first round. Ruud will begin his campaign in the second round against Daniel Altmaier. The Norwegian is playing in this tournament for a seventh time. Ruud lost in the first round in each of his first two participations but was a quarterfinalist in 2021. That remains his best run at the Paris Masters. Ruud has lost in the second round in each of the last two years competing in Bercy.

Ruud has compiled 39 wins and 15 losses and is a contender to qualify for the ATP Finals. He is currently in 11th place in the race, but with Jack Draper’s withdrawal, he will move up to 10th. Ruud will be chasing Lorenzo Musetti, who holds that final eighth position in the race to Turin.

Daniel Altmaier kicked off the tournament in the first round stage, beatingthe  USA’s Marcos Giron in straight sets. The match took 21 games to decide. Altmaier prevailed 6-2, 7-6 in an hour and 37 minutes. He has reached the second round of the Paris Masters for a second time.

In the victory, Altmaier hit 7 aces and 2 double faults. Altmaier landed 64% of first serves in play and won 75% of first serve points (33/44). Altmaier won 52% of second serve points (13/25) and saved three of four break points in the match to advance to the next round.

Casper Ruud vs Daniel Altmaier Prediction

Ruud’s retirement in Basel was presumably a precaution, as he shortly apologised to fans on social media. He’s prioritising his body for a much more important tournament in Paris with 1000 points up for grabs. The decision to play Basel after winning in Stockholm was detrimental to his body. That said, he’s not hurt and he’ll get plenty of rest time to make one more deep run this week.
