THE PREDICTION
This is a trickier match to decipher than as first appears with world number 35 Jan-Lennard Struff finally coming into some form after the re-start to the tennis season and Pablo Carreno Busta wobbling slightly, recently, on his rise up the rankings. The pair share a 2-1 head-to-head record in favour of the Spaniard, with one win apiece last year and four tiebreaks out of five games played suggesting this should be a close contest with few clear-cut chances. PCB was handed the easier time of it against French wildcard Hugo Gaston in the first round but Struff also came through with ease against the ailing Nikoloz Basilashvili, so whomever blinks first in this fixture may well lose before they can recover. It is a strange one, as the PCB should be the favourite here as the ninth seed, but their very recent performances suggest this could be a small upset. A shrewd call could be for there to be at least one, if not two, tiebreaks here for want of a result that could go either way but Jan-Lennard Struff may well snatch this one.
