ROMAN BURRUCHAGA VS JAN-LENNARD STRUFF PREDICTION

22-year-old Roman Burruchuga set a new career-high ATP world ranking of 144th after qualifying to make his Grand Slam debut here at Roland-Garros, upsetting Jerry Shang in the first round. The Argentine beat Diego Schwartzman in three sets on his overall tour debut at the Cordova Open back in February but he brings a 1-2 record overall into this most important day of his young career to face a terribly tough challenge.

World number 41 Jan-Lennard Struff finished runner-up to Carlos Alcaraz at the Madrid Masters last spring, as a lucky loser, and he capped off the best 12 months of his career with a maiden ATP title claimed on home clay at the Munich Open last month.

The 34-year-old has needed top 20 quality to oust him from each of his last seven tournaments, including Alcaraz once again in the last 16 in Madrid, to suggest he can hit the ground running here. Back Struff to win in straight sets.
