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.
