Jan-Lennard Struff vs Thiago Agustin Tirante prediction

Jan-Lennard Struff and Thiago Agustin Tirante will do battle for the first time with little between them in the rankings when they lock horns in Beijing.

Neither player excelled at the US Open but the 25-year-old Tirante is enjoying a stunning breakthrough campaign with 27 match-wins to his name.

The veteran Struff has managed 14 but has not found consistency since his quarter-final surge at Wimbledon.

The conditions will suit Struff’s serve if it fires and that offers some rationale for backing the mini upset or a decent amount of games, but if you are going by form Tirante looks like the one likely to be more consistent over the course of the battle.
