Both Ruud and Cilic have had to grind hard to reach the semifinals of the French Open. While Ruud defeated the likes of Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Hubert Hurkacz, and Holger Rune en route to the last-four, Cilic has overcome the likes of Daniil Medvedev and Andrey Rublev.

Ruud vs Cilic: Head to Head

The two players have faced off against each other on only two occasions previously, with Ruud triumphing in both of them. Last year, Ruud defeated Cilic in a three-setter at the Toronto Masters. Further, they played at the Rome Masters in 2020, where Ruud prevailed in straight sets.

Prediction: Ruud to win in four sets

Although Cilic is proving to be a giant killer in this tournament, it will be difficult for him to overcome Ruud, who is in good form. Additionally, Ruud has a good record on clay this season. Thus, it is very likely that he will come out on top in this mouth-watering battle.
