Alcaraz in straight sets.
Now let's dive right into this Jan-Lennard Struff versus Carlos Alcaraz match under consideration. Struff, bless his heart, is unseeded in this tournament and perhaps, that's just how the cookie crumbles. Meanwhile, it's clear Alcaraz has climbed to an impressive place being the number 2 seed in the tournament.
Sure, our man Struff had a whale of a time in the past, knocking down opponents like Auger-Aliassime and Mišolić recently. But you've got the mention of Sonego and Lehečka landing the punches, with Struff on the losing end. No one loves that. It dampens spirits, raises questions about endurance, physique, and tactics.
Alcaraz, our sprightly Spanish lad, dominates the narrative. His recent encounters tell interesting stories. Stories of stamina, discipline, and power. Stories that recount his triumphs against Oliver Tarvet, Fognini F., Lehečka J., and others. Little wonder they've tagged him as the favorite.
Now, let's voyage into the past. In previous meetings between these two, our Spanish maestro - Alcaraz, has a slight lead over Struff, with two wins to one. That's love for Alcaraz, while Struff is probably nursing an old bruise.
So, considering all these elements, the tea leaves tell me it's going to be a good day for Carlos Alcaraz. In fact, my crystal ball shows him wiping the floor with Jan-Lennard Struff, just for good measure.
Albert’s Prediction: Alcaraz in straight sets.
