Pick 1: Tsitsipas to win (1.61 Bet165)

Ruud ousted Tsitsipas 6-4 7-6 earlier this year in Los Cabos. Expect the Greek to go on the offensive early and often during Sunday’s final. Tsitsipas is at his best when attacking with his forehand and moving up to the net, two things he has done brilliantly at Monte Carlo. We all know about his backhand woes, but when dictating the point, he can hide this weakness and play with aggression.Ruud is one of the best movers in the world on the clay and will force the Greek to hit extra balls to win points. For the Norwegian, this match is all about holding his serve and taking advantage of the opportunities Stef gives him. Expect a terrific battle with many high-quality, long rallies. In the end, I see Tsitsipas claiming his third ATP Monte Carlo title. There’s something about this place that he absolutely loves.
