Ruud is in solid form to end the year and took home the silverware in Stockholm last year - he enjoys the relatively slow indoor conditions at this tournament. Shevchenko has endured a poor year dropping out of the top 100 and has a shocking record against top 20 opponents.

Take Ruud to come through this match in straights.

Casper Ruud Form Analysis

2026 ATP Record: 36-20
ATP Stockholm Record: 5-2
Current Ranking: No. 18
Career-High Ranking: No. 2 (2022)

It hasn't been the best year for Ruud, but he's clawed his way back into the top 20 and will hope to defend his Stockholm title to finish off the season.

Ruud made the final of the Rome Masters during the clay swing and he's in solid form to end the year, reaching the Shanghai Masters quarter-finals and Paris Masters semi-finals last week.

The Norwegian beat Rafa Jodar in Paris before falling to Carlos Alcaraz. Having gone all the way in Stockholm last year, Ruud has got to be counted among the favourites to win this year's title.

Alexandr Shevchenko Form Analysis

2026 ATP Record: 13-18
ATP Stockholm Record: 1-1
Current Ranking: No. 107
Career-High Ranking: No. 45 (2024)

Not a great year for Shevchenko - he started 2026 just outside the top 100 and that looks like where he'll finish it.

A semi-final on the clay of Gstaad was Shevchenko's best result at tour-level for the season, along with a quarter-final in Adelaide and third round in Miami, where he beat Ben Shelton.

Shevchenko lost his next five matches after that Gstaad semi-final, but he's giving himself a chance at one last run of form in Stockholm this week.

The 25-year-old qualified for the main draw before registering a dominant 6-1 6-3 victory over veteran Adrian Mannarino.
