Jan-Lennard Struff vs Alexander Shevchenko prediction
Jan-Lennard Struff will look to build upon a strong run at Wimbledon in the second half of the season.
The German lost to eventual champion Jannik Sinner in his ever first Grand Slam quarter-final and will hope to improve on his previous efforts on clay in 2026.
First up in Kitzbuhel, he faces Alexander Shevchenko for the second time after beating the Ukrainian in Metz two years ago.
Struff also prevailed in Australian Open qualifying in 2023 but this will be their first meeting on clay and Shevchenko has been posting strong results on the surface recently, including a run to the last four in Gstaad.
JLS sits higher in the rankings at present and has the blueprint to beat the Ukrainian, but don’t be surprised if it goes three given recent form.
