Command Analysis
Jan-Lennard Struff
GermanyCurrent form
Struff has not played yet in the new season. Jan-Lennard finished the previous year with the exhibition tournament Ultimate Tennis Showdown, in which he played three matches. In London, the German beat Alexander Bublik, but lost to Alex De Minaur and Holger Rune. Last season, Struff had five wins and ten losses on open hard courts.
Professional qualities
Struff balances between an all-rounder and a net player. The German is comfortable on the baseline, but tends to speed up the game when he comes to the net to avoid prolonging rallies. Jan-Lennard has a powerful serve, which makes him a strong player on fast courts, especially when he is in good shape. However, his return leaves much to be desired, and when he is not in the best shape, he often makes a lot of unforced errors.
Current indicators in the tour
Struff is ranked 42nd in the world. Last season was marked for him by winning the home tournament in Munich, in the final of which he beat Taylor Fritz. For Jan-Lennard, this was the first ATP title in his career. In total, Struff has won 13 trophies in his career.
Interesting facts for betting
Struff once reached the semi-finals on the courts of Auckland.
Bu Yunchaokete
ChinaCurrent form
Yunchaokete played in Hong Kong last week, where he lost to Nuno Borges in the first round. Last season, the Chinese tennis player showed really good results on open hard courts, winning 40 matches and losing 14.
Professional qualities
Yunchaokete has so far specialized on hard courts. Fast, with a strong first serve, he uses powerful shots to send opponents flying into the corners of the court. Despite his aggressive style of play, Bu often makes unforced errors, but his number of winners often exceeds this figure. The tennis player's backhand is already at a good level, and he continues to improve this element of his game with each match.
Current indicators in the tour
Yunchaokete had an outstanding performance on outdoor hard courts last season, winning 40 matches on the surface and two trophies. He won in Wuxi, beating Egor Gerasimov in the final. And he won the event held in Granby, where he beat Terence Atman in the final. Bu is ranked 65th in the world.

Bet on total
It is unclear what form Struff is in, as he has not played a single match this season. Yunchaokete played only one match last week in Hong Kong. We expect that the head-to-head confrontation between these tennis players will probably be protracted.

Three of Yunchaokete's last five matches have seen the first set go to fewer than 9.5 games. We expect the upcoming encounter against Struff to start with a low first set as well.
