Casper Ruud has been on a dominant run in Rome, winning all of his matches in straight sets, including impressive victories over Jiri Lehecka and local favorite Lorenzo Musetti. He has not conceded more than four games in any set during this stretch, highlighting the level he is currently producing.

- Casper Ruud is 7–2 in clay Masters quarterfinals.
- He lost eight of his last 11 matches vs Top 20 players.
- Karen Khachanov is 0–2 in clay Masters quarterfinals.
- He won only five of his last 11 matches vs outside Top 20 players.
HTH - Casper Ruud leads 2-1
| Year | Event | Surface | Round | Winner | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | Toronto | Hard | R16 | Khachanov | 6-4, 7-5 |
| 2022 | US Open | Hard | SF | Ruud | 7-6(5), 6-2, 5-7, 6-2 |
| 2020 | Rome | Clay | 1R | Ruud | 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 |
Ruud Continues Strong Rome Tradition
Casper Ruud dispatched Lorenzo Musetti in straight sets, 6-3, 6-1, to reach the quarterfinals in Rome. He saved both break points he faced and converted four of his 11 break opportunities during the match.
This marks Ruud’s fifth quarterfinal appearance in Rome. He previously reached three consecutive semifinals between 2020 and 2023 before losing to Jannik Sinner at this stage last year.
The result is an important response after a difficult few weeks for the Norwegian. He retired in Monte Carlo and then failed to defend his Madrid title, which pushed him outside the top 20 rankings. One more win this week would move him back into that group.
Ruud is currently on a three-match losing streak in quarterfinals this season, including defeats in Delray Beach and Madrid. He is now chasing his first semifinal appearance since winning the Stockholm title last year.
Overall, Ruud owns a 9-6 record in Masters quarterfinals. On clay, however, he has been far more effective, winning seven of his previous nine quarterfinal matches on the surface.

Khachanov Reaches Maiden Rome Quarterfinal
Karen Khachanov advanced to the quarterfinals in Rome after following up his three-set win over Botic van de Zandschulp with a comfortable 6-1, 7-6 victory against Dino Prizmic.
With this result, Khachanov snapped a four-match losing streak in round-of-16 matches and reached his maiden quarterfinal in Rome. He now looks to build on the momentum and continue his run this week.
The Russian arrived in Rome short on confidence after winning only three matches across his previous six tournaments. He had also lost three of his four matches on clay before this event.
Over the last four years, Khachanov has played six clay-court quarterfinals and lost five of them. The lone exception came in Barcelona last year, where he reached the semifinals.
Khachanov has now reached 10 Masters quarterfinals in his career and won six of them overall. However, he is still searching for his first Masters semifinal on clay after losses to Carlos Alcaraz in Madrid 2023 and Stefanos Tsitsipas in Monte Carlo 2024.

Verdict
With Ruud playing at such a high level, Karen Khachanov does not appear fully equipped to trouble him in current form. Backing Ruud to win in straight sets and cover the -3.5 games handicap both align with the dominance he has shown throughout this Rome campaign.
