THE PREDICTION

33-year-old Jan-Lennard Struff had struggled through the majority of the last two seasons on tour but the German burst into form at the Madrid Open earlier this month, coming through as a lucky loser all the way to the final before a three-set defeat to Carlos Alcaraz. In one fell swoop Struff reached a first Masters final on tour and broke into the top 30 for the first time, with a career-high ATP world ranking of 26th set this week, to look a dark horse for a deep run here in Paris. The 21st seed faces a rising star in world number 41 Jiri Lehecka but the 21-year-old Czech has some room for improvement away from his favoured hardcourts. Lehecka reached the quarter-finals at the Australian Open back in January but he takes a three-match losing streak into Roland-Garros to face one of the form players on clay right now. Back Struff to win outright here with four sets likely and five sets a distinct possibility. You could also add at least a tiebreak here between two heavy hitters.
