Holger Rune vs. Casper Ruud 2022 French Open Prediction and Odds (Rune's Dream Run Set to Continue)
By Reed Wallach
The biggest surprise of the first weekend of the French Open will look to make waves once again on Wednesday.
Holger Rune is into his first Grand Slam quarterfinal after upsetting Stefanos Tsitsipas in the Round of 16. He'll meet Casper Ruud in the quarterfinals with both men angling for their first career French Open semifinals.
Ruud is a considerable favorite and has the far superior ranking at No. 8 in the world, but Rune has shown better form at Roland-Garros. What should we expect on Wednesday? Here are the odds from WynnBET Sportsbook:

Holger Rune vs. Casper Ruud Prediction and Pick
Rune has been superb in his run to the quarterfinals, dropping just one set in his run to his best result in a Grand Slam to date. At 19, Rune is looking to make a shocking run to the semifinals.
Meanwhile, Ruud is ranked No. 8 in the world, but it has been a difficult fortnight for him, only winning in straight sets once in four tires at Roland-Garros. Ruud is the far more proven clay court player, losing twice in the month of May with one being to World No. 1 Novak Djokovic.
Rune did lose to Ruud in Monte Carlo last month, but it was more competitive than the straight sets finish would indicate, 7-6 (5), 7-5. Both men faced 5 break points in what was a competitive near two-hour battle.
Now, we have seen Ruud struggle in this tournament, rallying from down two sets to beat Lorenzo Sonego and playing for 2:30 with Herbert Hurkacz in the round of 16.
Given the form of how Rune at Roland-Garros I believe this line is a bit inflated and I'll take the 19-year-old to shock the tennis world and advance to the 2022 French Open semis.
LEAN: Rune +170
