Ruud and Djere will take on each other in the round of 16 stage of the ASB Classic on January 11.
Casper Ruud was in great form last season and ended the last year in fine fashion and will be motivated to carry his good form in the first match of the new year. He played at the ATP World Tour Finals recently where he made it to the finals beating the likes of Rublev, Fritz, and Auger-Aliassime on the way. He only lost to Rafa Nadal in the group stage round and then in the finals, he had to settle for second place as Novak Djokovic showed immense caliber to win the match. In the tournaments before that, he made it to the round of 16 stage at the Paris Masters and bowed out of the Japan Open and Swiss Indoors right in the first round. But he was absolutely splendid just to lose to the young star, Alcaraz in a four-set thriller.
Laslo Djere also hasn’t been in great form recently and looks to start the year on a high. He hasn’t made it to the later stages of any of the major tournaments he has played in the last couple of months. He lost to Marterer in the Maharashtra Open after winning the first match against Alex Molcan. In the previous tournament at the Paris Masters, he got knocked out right in the second qualifying match to Huesler after beating David Goffin comfortably in the first qualifier. In the Swiss Indoors, he was beaten by Bautista Agut in the round of 32 stage after winning the first two qualifiers against Daniel and Kym. He beat Jaume Munar in the previous round in a three-set thriller with the match ending 6-3, 1-6, 6-7 to the name of the Serbian.
