Cecchinato M. (Ita) - Mannarino A. (Fra)

The Laver Cup is a competition where although the match is played in America, Opelka's confidence is boosted, but Ruud's ability to play well in matches and his skills in defense and returning gives me a strong belief in this Norwegian player. Ruud has consistently played well for Europe in this tournament, and Opelka last played in 2021. On this occasion, I believe Ruud will have the advantage.
