Casper Ruud vs Carlos Alcaraz, 9.05pm GMT
Our Picks:
Ruud win @7/4
Casper Ruud to win his 1st service game, win the 1st set & win the match @3/1
Although this will seem odd Ruud has never beat Alcaraz (4th seed), and were still backing the 7 seed. This is the final of the final grand slam of 2022 and Ruud is stepping up.
Although Alcaraz’s level has been peerless in New York and his tournament highlight reel will be remarkable, he has been extremely inefficient. In each of his three five-set matches against Marin Cilic, Jannik Sinner and Tiafoe, he has had clear and numerous opportunities to finish with far less toil, and it is partly his wastefulness that has forced him to be so resilient. He has been on court for 20 hours and 20 minutesa total he could have trimmed by at least three hours.
Despite a far from easy run himself, Ruud has spent nearly two fewer hours on court with a total of 18 hours, 27 minutes. While Alcaraz has demonstrated an incredible recovery and physical fortitude, Ruud will enter the court believing that if he is able to use his greater experience to handle the occasion well and to be clinical in the big moments, he will have his chances.
The winner will become the World No 1.
