LiontipsStruff vs De Minaur. Prediction and bets on the ATP Vienna match
Command Analysis
Current form
Struff has not played since the US Open. The German has recovered from a hip injury that had been bothering him since the Paris Olympics. Jan-Lennard has played only two matches on indoor hard courts this season - one win and one loss.
Professional qualities
Struff is known for his powerful serve and aggressive play at the net. His forehand is his main weapon for setting up his attack, especially before going to the net. Although his backhand is also powerful, it is not as accurate or dangerous as his forehand.
Current indicators in the tour
Struff is ranked 40th in the world. This season, Jan-Lennard won his first ATP title in his career - he won the home clay court tournament in Munich. In the final of that competition, the German beat Taylor Fritz.
Interesting facts for betting
Struff has lost his last three matches.
Current form
De Minaur competed in Antwerp last week, where he reached the quarter-finals before losing to Hugo Gaston. Alex has five wins in seven matches on indoor hard courts this season.
Professional qualities
De Minaur has improved his game considerably, moving from a defensive style to a more versatile approach. On grass courts in particular, he has been able to show his attacking abilities, which led to victory at the tournament in -Hertogenbosch this season. However, indoor results are not always so favorable. Last week in Antwerp, the Australian ran into trouble against Hugo Gaston, whose skilful control of drop shots proved difficult for the fleet-footed Australian.
Current indicators in the tour
De Minaur has two titles under his belt this season. First, he won the hard court tournament in Acapulco and a little later Alex won the tournament in -Hertogenbosch, which was held on grass. The Australian, as a reminder, is currently in the top 10 of the world rankings.
Interesting facts for betting
De Minaur record against top-50 players on hard courts this season is 15-5.
