Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

In the second round of the Shanghai event, there will be a match between Aleksandar Vukic from Australia and Casper Ruud from Norway. This will be the first meeting between the two players.

Aleksandar Vukic is 28 years old and currently ranked 91st in the world. He achieved his career-high ranking of 48 in August 2023 after reaching his first ATP Tour final at the 2023 Atlanta event. In 2024, he has a win-loss record of 18-23 and his best performance was reaching the semifinals of the Eastbourne tournament. He has a 2-1 record in this event, reaching the second round in the 2023 and 2024 editions. Vukic broke into the top 200 in March 2020 and then entered the top 100 in May 2023. He won Challenger titles at the 2022 Bengaluru-2 and 2023 Busan tournaments, and reached the finals at the 2021 and 2022 Champaign events. Vukic was a three-time All-American for the University of Illinois from 2015 to 2018. He was born in Sydney after his parents and older brother fled Montenegro during the breakup of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s. It is worth noting that Vukic has a record of 0-5 against top 10 players and is looking for the biggest win of his career to advance to the third round of an ATP Masters 1000 event for the second time. He is one of the six qualifiers in the Shanghai second round after defeating Moutet in the first round.

Casper Ruud, on the other hand, is 25 years old and currently ranked 9th in the world. He achieved his career-high ranking of 2 after reaching the 2022 US Open final, where he lost to Alcaraz and missed out on the opportunity to become the world No. 1. Ruud is the top-ranked Norwegian in history and has numerous achievements to his name. He is the first Norwegian to win 12 ATP Tour titles and has played at the Nitto ATP Finals, reaching the semifinals in 2021 and the final in 2022. He has also reached a Grand Slam final twice, at the Roland Garros in 2022 and 2023, and the US Open in 2023. Additionally, he has reached an ATP Masters 1000 final at the 2022 Miami and 2024 Monte Carlo events. Notably, in July 2021, Ruud became the first player since Andy Murray in 2011 to win three titles in three consecutive weeks, as he swept the clay-court titles at Bastad, Gstaad, and Kitzbuhel. Since the start of the 2020 season, he leads the ATP Tour in clay-court wins, finals, and titles, with 116 wins, 16 finals, and 11 titles. One of the highlights of his career was defeating world No. 1 Djokovic en route to the final of the 2024 ATP Masters 1000 Monte Carlo. Ruud has a record of 48-18 in 2024 and has won two titles so far. In the 2023 Shanghai event, he reached the fourth round with a 2-1 record. Ruud has a strong record against players ranked outside the top 50 on hard courts, with a 10-1 record this season. However, he did suffer a loss to No. 159 Rocha in the Davis Cup against Portugal in September. This week, Ruud aims to complete the set of ATP Masters 1000 quarterfinal appearances at all nine events.

The match between Vukic and Ruud will take place on Show Court 3.
