ATP Los Cabos: Stefanos Tsitsipas vs. Casper Ruud Preview, Head-To-Head, and Prediction

The Greek tennis sensation is coming to the tournament after a lackluster campaign at the Australian Open, where he faced a fourth-round defeat. Now entering the Los Cabos Open as the second seed, Stefanos Tsitsipas swept aside his unseeded Australian opponent Aleksandar Vukic in the round of 16. The former world No. 3 then breezed past the American Aleksandar Kovacevic in another straight-set game, 7-6, 6-3, to reach the semifinals.

Casper Ruud, on the other hand, is also coming to the tournament after his participation in the Australian Open, where he failed to reach the latter stages. The fourth-seeded Norwegian player now looks to make amends in Mexico, as he started his campaign by thumping Marcos Giron, 6-1, 6-0. In his quarterfinals, Ruud then overcame his Portuguese opponent, Nuno Borges, with a score of 6-3, 6-2.
