THE PREDICTION

World number 25 Jan-Lennard Struff came back from a set down to beat the returning Marin Cilic via two tiebreaks in a fiercely competitive match on Tuesday. The 33-year-old reached the first Masters final of his career in Madrid last April, doing so as a lucky loser before a very tight defeat to Carlos Alcaraz, and he also finished runner-up to Frances Tiafoe at the Stuttgart Open before injuries hampered the rest of his year. 27-year-old Sebastian Ofner also enjoyed the best year of his career in 2023, setting a career-high ATP world ranking of 43rd in November after an excellent run to the round of 16 at Roland-Garros. The Austrian conceded just three games to Mackenzie McDonald on Tuesday to look a serious threat to Struff in this first encounter but back the German to earn at least a set as the likelier of two very capable victors. It could be worth adding at least a tiebreak into the mix with two hard-hitters concerned.
