Command Analysis

Jan-Lennard Struff

Current form
Struff has won only one game in five matches on the open hard court this season. The German tennis player left the last two tournaments on this surface quite quickly - in Doha in the first round he lost to Tallon Grixpour, in Dubai he lost to Daniil Medvedev.
Professional qualities
Struff has problems with the reception, but he does a great job of putting the ball into play. Despite the fact that his presentation is not always perfect, it often proves to be very effective. The German earns a lot of easy points thanks to his serve. If it doesn't work, then Jan-Lennard's powerful forehand is coming in, which is also capable of earning him easy points.
Current indicators in the tour
Last season brought Struff the first ATP title of his career - he won the clay competition in Munich. Jan-Lennard is currently in 46th place in the world ranking.
Interesting facts for betting
Last season, Struff reached the third round at Indian Wells.

Gael Monfils

Current form
Monfils has scored nine wins and three losses on the open hard court this season. The last tournament that Gael participated in was the Dubai competition. He left them after the first round, losing to Matteo Berrettini.
Professional qualities
In his best years, Monfils was a master on the back line, catching any ball and steadily returning it to the game. But with age and loss of speed, it became more difficult for him to maintain such activity. Therefore, the Frenchman began to focus on the attacking game. Fortunately, he has a powerful serve and strong forehand and backhand shots.
Current indicators in the tour
Monfils is the 42nd racket of the world at the moment. Once upon a time, the French veteran was the sixth in the world. Gael has already won one trophy this season - he won the competition in Auckland. It was the 13th ATP title of his career for him.
Interesting facts for betting
Monfils will have to defend last year's fourth round on the courts of Indian Wells this season.
