Daniil Medvedev vs Jan-Lennard Struff prediction

Daniil Medvedev continued his winning streak with a routine triumph over Pablo Carreno Busta.

The Hangzhou champion eased to a 6-4 6-2 success over the Spaniard and will now face Jan-Lennard Struff for the 11th time after the German clinched a 6-1 6-4 victory over Thiago Agustin Tirante.

The Russian leads the head-to-head 8-2, although JLS did win the most recent clash 7-6 7-6 7-5 at Wimbledon a few months ago.

Medvedev has been utterly dominant in the match-up on hardcourts with Jan-Lennard’s only victories coming on grass.

With that in mind - coupled with Med’s fine recent form, desire for Wimbledon revenge and confidence - there’s only one pick here, although you may get better odds backing Struff to serve big and chip in plenty of games.
