Command Analysis
Jan-Lennard Struff
GermanyCurrent form
Struff won the first round of the competition in Auckland against Bu Yunchaokete (6-3, 6-4). In the match against the Chinese tennis player, Jan-Lennard served 13 aces, converted three break points and lost one game on his serve. For the German, this was the first match of the new season.
Professional qualities
Monfils is a French tennis player who is renowned for his fast footwork, allowing him to be extremely mobile on the court. He also has powerful forehand and two-handed backhand shots, often ranking among the top power shots in various tournaments. However, his aggressive style of play requires constant exertion, which can lead to physical exhaustion and injury, especially in Grand Slam tournaments where matches are best of five sets. Mental difficulties have also been common in Gael's career, causing him to take time off to recover.
Current indicators in the tour
Struff is ranked 42nd in the world. Last season brought the German tennis player his first ATP title. He won the home clay court tournament in Munich - in the final of that competition, Jan-Lennard beat Taylor Fritz. In total, Struff has won 13 titles in his career.
Interesting facts for betting
Struff has lost 8 of his last 12 matches.
Gael Monfils
FranceCurrent form
Monfils advanced to the second round of the tournament in Auckland, beating Pedro Marteris (1-6, 7-6, 6-3). Gael served eight aces, converted two break points and lost four games on his serve during the match against the Spaniard. The Frenchman has two wins in three matches this season.
Professional qualities
Struff is a player whose style of play is somewhere between an all-rounder and a net player. He can play confidently from the baseline, but often tries to speed up the rally by going to the net. Jan-Lennard regularly ranks among the top winners, but his aggressive play often leads to a large number of unforced errors. His weak point is his return of serve, which does not always match the level of his attacking game.
Current indicators in the tour
Monfils is ranked 52nd in the world. During his career, the French tennis player has won 19 trophies, 12 of which are ATP category. Last season, Gael played in two semi-finals - at tournaments in Doha and Mallorca.
