Alex Michelsen vs Jan-Lennard Struff prediction
This is a battle between young and old in Canada. Whilst Alex Michelsen is early in his career at the tender age of 21, 36-year-old Jan-Lennard Struff will be looking to teach him some new tricks here. Michelsen is coming off the back of victory in the Bloomfield Hills Challenger and was a semi-finalist at the Hall of Fame Open.
Jan-Lennard Struff is also in good form, finishing in the quarter-finals at Wimbledon. Whilst he’ll need to adapt to the hard court, his vast experience should stand him in good stead for that. When considering how well both him and Michelsen are playing, we could in for a close one here and backing a three-setter should be favoured.
