Ruud C. vs Alcaraz C.

Published reasoning

Estimated probability: 82%. Alcaraz won eight of nine completed hard matches from October 10 to November 6, including 2-1 over Fritz and 2-0 over Michelsen, De Minaur, Medvedev and Paul. Ruud has seven wins and a set in all nine current completed hard matches. The live rankings are 3 Alcaraz and 23 Ruud. The high-quality match-win model favors Alcaraz 78%. Main risk: Ruud won his last four completed matches 2-0, including over Borges overnight and Struff on November 5. He also beat Alcaraz 2-0 in November 2024, while Alcaraz won their March 2026 meeting 2-0. Both meetings are outside the current form window. Alcaraz lost 0-2 to Bergs, and his Berrettini walkover and Ruud’s 0-0 Auger-Aliassime row were excluded.
