Casper Ruud vs Taylor Fritz: Laver Cup 2023 Preview, Schedule, Date, Form Guide, Head to Head, Live Streaming

Casper Ruud isn’t considered the top choice player, especially when it comes to surfaces other than clay. While he deserves praise for making the most of his skills and improving on hard courts in recent years, he has consistently struggled in high-pressure situations. If Team Europe wins their expected doubles match, all the pressure and hopes will be on Ruud to win the singles match and keep the tie alive. However, it’s worth mentioning that the former world #2 has a perfect 3-0 singles record at the Laver Cup, including a win in 2023. It’s important to note, though, that none of these wins were against top-10 players. In fact, most of his victories in team competitions have been against lower-ranked players and those outside the top 200.

Taylor Fritz has consistently proven himself as a reliable performer for Team World at the Laver Cup over the years, and he has once again demonstrated that reputation in the current edition. He convincingly beat Andrey Rublev, who is ranked #6 in the world, in straight sets, giving the defending champions a comfortable position for the week. As the top-ranked American, Fritz has achieved an impressive 37 victories on hard surfaces this year, which is nearly five times more than Ruud’s wins during the same period. He clinched titles in Delray Beach and Atlanta, with his only two losses on this surface coming against Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinals of the Cincinnati Masters and the US Open.
