Casper Ruud
Here’s a look at the French Open 2022 semifinal preview between Marin Cilic vs Casper Ruud.
Casper Ruud already has two titles in his bag this season, having won the Argentina Open and the Geneva Open. The Norwegian, however, is looking to make a bigger name for himself by winning a Grand Slam. At the French Open, he started his campaign with a win over Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in four sets before beating Emil Ruusuvuori, Lorenzo Sonego and Hubert Hurkacz to reach the quarterfinals. Ruud then managed a rather comfortable win on four sets over Holger Rune on Wednesday to book his spot in the semifinals of the Roland Garros for the first time.
Meanwhile, Marin Cilic is enjoying a dream run at the French Open this year. The Croatian hammered Attila Balazs in the first round before a comeback win over Marton Fucsovics. He then overcame Gilles Simon and then beat 2nd seed Daniil Medvedev in the fourth round. Cilic then managed another upset in the quarterfinals when he beat Andrey Rublev to set up a clash against Casper Ruud.

Casper Ruud currently leads the H2H record against Cilic 2-0. On Friday, we expect Cilic to put up a fighting display but a win for Ruud is certainly more likely given that he is looking extremely comfortable on clay.
