Jan-Lennard Struff vs Francisco Comesana prediction

Jan-Lennard Struff is struggling to pick up results, having lost seven of his last eight matches. He ended a losing run in the first-round of the Madrid Open as he defeated Alexandre Muller. However, Struff, who reached the final of that event in 2023, lost in dismal fashion to Alex Michelsen in the next stage of the tournament. He has lost 11 of his 18 matches this season and is yet to go beyond the second-round of an event this year.

His first-round opponent is Francisco Comesana. The Argentine has also struggled for form this season, with 13 losses from 21 matches. Comesana lost in the first-round of the Monte-Carlo Masters and the Madrid Open. Nevertheless, he was able to qualify for this event after wins over Billy Harris and Leandro Riedi. 

Both players have failed to generate any momentum this season, and there is no clear favourite. This may head into a third set.
