Frances Tiafoe vs Jan-Lennard Struff prediction
Frances Tiafoe was made to work for his victory against Martin Damm, coming through in four sets. Each set was competitive, with Damm saving a match point in the third set tiebreak to extend the encounter. Despite being tested, Tiafoe put in a fine serving performance as he wasn’t broken on serve and only faced three break points.
Jan-Lennard Struff earned his best win of the season as he defeated Holger Rune in five sets to make it through to the third-round for the third time in his career and the first in five years. The German went a break up in the fourth but Rune fought back to break twice and force a deciding set. Struff held his nerve to serve out the match and win 7-6 2-6 6-3 4-6 7-5. Struff needed to qualify to enter the main draw and now has five wins on the bounce in New York.
This is their first encounter on an outdoor hard court, though Tiafoe leads the head-to-head 2-1. He will need to put in a strong display against a rejuvenated Struff, but we still back the American on this occasion.
