Draper produced a statement straight-sets win over Italian Lorenzo Musetti in the semi-final on Friday, whilst Ruud overcame Argentine Francisco Cerundolo 6-4, 7-5.
The added incentive for Draper – who has already leapfrogged Novak Djokovic into the world’s top five – ahead of his first career ATP final on clay is victory would leave him only 25 ranking points behind American world number four Taylor Fritz.
However, Ruud has established himself as one of the best on clay having won 11 of his 12 career titles on this surface but can he beat Draper to claim the biggest title of his career so far?
Neither player dropped a set on the way to the final and that sets up a fascinating showpiece event at the Caja Magica.
