Rafael Jodar and Casper Ruud face off at the ATP Paris Masters, with over 22.5 games tipped as the best bet.

Jodar leads the head-to-head 1-0 and is enjoying a breakout season, but Ruud is motivated to end his year on a high.

Rafael Jodar vs Casper Ruud ATP Paris Tips, Prediction & Live Stream
Over 22.5 games is the best bet as Rafael Jodar and Casper Ruud square off for the second time in the space of a month at the Paris Masters on Tuesday night.
These two were involved in a tight tussle at the Shanghai Masters a few weeks ago, with Jodar prevailing in a deciding set - and a similar result wouldn't be surprising here. Ruud looks to have some motivation as he attempts to finish his relatively disappointing season on a high - he can play without pressure and swing freely against Jodar, who is aiming to cap an extraordinary breakout year by qualifying for the ATP Finals.
This is shaping as another close affair, but it's Jodar who has the weapons to do damage indoors.

Rafael Jodar Form Analysis
- 2026 ATP Record: 44-17
- ATP Paris Record: 1-0
- Current Ranking: No. 11
- Career-High Ranking: No. 11 (Aug 2026)
Jodar has enjoyed one of the most remarkable breakout campaigns in ATP history, climbing from well outside the world's top 100 at the start of 2026 to the top 10.
The 20-year-old Spaniard has achieved several major career milestones this season, capturing his maiden ATP title in Marrakech, advancing to his first Grand Slam quarter-final at Roland Garros and reaching his first Masters 1000 final in Shanghai.
Those performances have propelled Jodar into serious contention for the ATP Finals and outperforming Alex de Minaur and Novak Djokovic this week in Paris will likely get the job done.
Jodar got his campaign off to the perfect start, dismantling Alejandro Tabilo for the fourth time in 2026, coming away with a dominant 6-2 6-3 victory.
Casper Ruud Form Analysis
- 2026 ATP Record: 33-19
- ATP Paris Record: 4-7
- Current Ranking: No. 23
- Career-High Ranking: No. 2 (2022)
It's not been a great year on the court for Ruud, with his ranking slipping outside the top 20.
Ruud's best results for the season have come at these Masters events - he finished runner-up to Jannik Sinner in Rome and made the quarter-finals in Shanghai.
Obviously indoors and quick surfaces aren't exactly Ruud's idea of favourable conditions - he was bundled out of Basel in the R16 last week by Nuno Borges and arrived in Paris on a four-match losing streak at the tournament.
However, Ruud had no troubles in his Paris opener this time around, easing past Juan Manuel Cerundolo 6-3 6-2.
