Struff leads 2-1 in their head-to-head clash with Ivashka. So we believe that the upcoming match won’t be an easy one for Ilya. All the more so, because for Struff it’s a home tournament, and he’ll probably try to give his best.
The tennis players have met each other three times before, and none of those three matches has gone beyond two sets. We believe that this match will be played in a similar scenario.
Ivashka started the grass part of the season in ‘s-Hertogenbosch. This tournament turned out to be quite successful for him.
In the first round, Ilya defeated Mackenzie McDonald (6-3, 6-7, 6-1). In the second round, he beat Emil Ruusuvuori (6-4, 6-2). Only after that, he was stopped by Daniil Medvedev (6-7, 4-6).
Ivashka can also take credit for the match against Medvedev. It’s difficult to say how things would have developed had he converted a set-ball in the first set.
Last year, Ivashka qualified for Halle but lost in the first round to Roger Federer (6-7, 5-7).
Ivashka has lost 7 times in his last 10 meetings against players with a strong serve.
Struff played in Stuttgart last week. Jan-Lennard only made it one round, but he still actually played quite well.
Jan-Lennard beat Marcos Giron (7-5, 5-7, 7-6) in the first round before losing to Lorenzo Sonego (6-7, 6-7) in the second.
In the match against Lorenzo, Struff lost both sets on a tie-break. Remarkably, his opponent did not have a single break point in the entire game.
Struff has hardly missed a tournament in Halle since 2009, but in all that time he only managed to get past the first round on two occasions.
Struff has won 6 of his last 10 fixtures played in Germany.
In 3 of Struff’s last 5 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 the odds of 1.42.
In the last five games, Ivashka has played three tie-breaks. We offer to bet on “Tie-Break – Yes” with the odds of 2.32.
