THE PREDICTION
World number 40 Jan-Lennard Struff has little time to get over losing his first ATP final on Sunday as he finished runner-up to Nikoloz Basilashvili at the Munich Open. The 31-year-old seems the kind of player who can shirk off most of that disappointment ahead of a big tournament but world number 76 Alexei Popyrin is no pushover for a first round draw. The 21-year-old Aussie won his first title this season at the Singapore Open and whilst he is a better player off the clay he has enjoyed some good results on the clay swing so far. Neither of these players are a stranger to a tight and lengthy match so take at least one tiebreak in this match as a better option for want of a tough result in their first ever meeting.
