LiontipsShevchenko vs Struff. Prediction and bets on the ATP Metz match
Command Analysis
Current form
Shevchenko showed a good result in August at the tournament in Almaty, where he managed to reach the quarterfinals. However, last week Alexander failed to overcome the qualification at the Masters in Paris. On indoor hard courts, the representative of Kazakhstan has seven wins and five losses this year.
Professional qualities
Shevchenko is a clay court player, although he sometimes shows decent results on hard courts. His baseline game is dangerous, thanks to his powerful shots and excellent footwork. His weak point is his second serve, which is especially noticeable on fast surfaces.
Current indicators in the tour
Shevchenko is currently ranked 63rd in the world. In addition to the quarterfinals in Almaty, Shevchenko has also played quarterfinals in tournaments in Montpellier, Rotterdam and Geneva.
Interesting facts for betting
Shevchenko is last year finalist at the competition in Metz.
Current form
Struff spent the entire month of September with a hip injury, which caused him to miss several major tournaments. Now Jan-Lennard is slowly returning to action. Last week he took part in the Masters in Paris, where he beat Lorenzo Musetti in the first round, but then lost to Arthur Fils. On indoor hard courts this year, the German has won two of his five matches.
Professional qualities
Struff is a versatile player who combines baseline play with aggressive net runs. Confidently trading shots from the baseline, Jan-Lennard often looks to make plays and leads the pack in winners, although this style also leads to many unforced errors. His serve is a strong point, but his return remains a weak spot.
Current indicators in the tour
Struff is in the top 50 of the world rankings and is currently ranked 42nd. The German tennis player can certainly count this season as an asset, since it was this year that he won his first ATP trophy. In April, Jan-Lennard won the home tournament, which was held in Munich.
Interesting facts for betting
Struff has just one win in his last six fights.

Shevchenko is motivated to defend last year final on the courts of Metz. His opponent is certainly not easy, but Struff has only recently returned to action after a hip injury, so he still has some work to do. We believe that Alexander will be able to get a plus handicap at least in this match.
Our prediction is Shevchenko victory with a handicap of (+3) games at odds of 1.88
Bet on total
Struff is the favorite in this pairing, but the German is not up to the task at the moment, as he only recently returned to action after a hip injury. We believe that this duel will be a struggle.
The second forecast is total over 22 games for odds of 1.76
Bet on the first set
Four of Struff last five matches have seen the first set go over 9.5 games. The upcoming Jan-Lennard vs. Shevchenko match is likely to start with a top-heavy first set as well.
