That makes two of us, but the first real test for me begins in approximately 30 minutes from now, and Tsitsipas vs Ruud, I need Tsitsi big on this one, Barcelona could still go either way and we both get it wrong, but my biggest form advantage would lie in Tsitsipas getting pass Ruud for this one!
This one was in Ruud hands from the moment he broke back in the first set. More than deserved tournament win, he was the best player whole week in Barcelona. Damn, I ma good in H2H questions, maximum points in both of them for me.
Very solid pick by the way. I think you are pretty good at taking into account some important details I am not even able to spot here. I did the obvious thing: made my picks for the final and then looked up how Ruud played against Tsitsipas in recent matches and when I saw that Tsitsipas destroyed Ruud in the Monte Carlo final, I could definitely not convince myself to go with Ruud here. Tell me your secret and how in light of the Monte Carlo final you came to the conclusion that this one could easily go Ruud's way? As I said, very good call! I expected Tsitsipas to definitely win a set in that final at least. But it's again him, wins big time one day, loses big time the other day...
