Struff is doing a great job. After all, not long ago, he was losing to rivals of the calibre of Enzo Couacaud and Borna Gojo. Reaching the quarterfinals of such a tournament can already be considered a great success. Nevertheless, we believe it ends there. Musetti is performing better this season. He will probably be able to outplay the German tennis player.
Most of Muzetti’s recent matches have been high-scoring. For example, in 5 of the Italian’s 7 matches, the maximum number of sets was played. It cannot be ruled out that this clash will also be a long one.
Struff seems intent on returning to the top 100. His latest results have sent him outside the top 100. He is now ranked 132nd. However, there is progress in Jan-Lennard’s action. In July, he won the Challenger in Braunschweig. The 32-year-old tennis player now has all the chances of successful performance in Sofia.
Struff got into the main draw of this tournament from qualifying, where he got past Aziz Dougaz (6-3, 6-2) and Mirza Basic (6-3, 6-4). After that, Jan-Lennard managed to send home Dusan Lajovic (4-6, 6-3, 6-2) and Ugo Humbert (6-3, 6-1).
Struff had won four times in the previous five quarter-finals.
At the end of July, Musetti unexpectedly won the tournament in Hamburg. The Italian defeated Carlos Alcaraz Garfia (6-4, 6-7, 6-4) in the final. This success allowed Lorenzo to climb to #30 in the world rankings. It is his best career achievement.
Despite all the successes, Musetti started the tournament in Sofia with an uncertain victory. In the previous round, his opponent was Alexandar Lazarov (6-7, 7-6, 6-2).
Musetti has won three of his last five matches against qualifiers.
In 3 of Muzetti’s last 4 matches, more than 9.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Over 9.5” with odds of 1.71.
