Jan-Lennard Struff – Statistics & current form
Jan-Lennard Struff is in the main draw of the grass court classic for the tenth time in his career. This time also without any qualification as the ATP world number 41. “Struffi” has a very feasible draw in the first round and will face a clay court player like Fabian Marozsan.
In the run-up to the tournament, Struff recharged his batteries at grass court tournaments such as Stuttgart and Halle. Jan-Lennard Stuff had to withdraw from the quarter-finals in Stuttgart due to illness, which meant that his opponent went into the semi-finals without a fight.
In Halle, however, the 34-year-old got off to a promising start. After defeating Luciano Darderi 2:1, Stefanos Tsitsipas followed in the next round. “Struffi” prevailed against the ATP world number eleven with a 2:0. There was not a single break chance for the Greek player over the course of ten service games
How far will Struff get at Wimbledon?
For “Struffi”, the best result at Wimbledon so far was reaching the third round. The 34-year-old achieved this feat in 2019. Since then, Jan-Lennard Struff has been eliminated twice in the first round of the grass court classic. Last year, “Struffi” did not appear at Wimbledon.
In his current form, the German tennis pro can be expected to do well in London. In 2023, Struff won 81.2% of his points on grass after his first serve. It is quite possible that he will build on these statistics at the grass court classic in Wimbledon.
In his entire career, Struff has already played 24 main round matches at Grand Slams against players who were ranked lower than the German tennis pro. In these 24 matches, “Struffi” has emerged victorious 14 times, giving him a win rate of 58.3% – a good omen ahead of the first round at Wimbledon?
Fabian Marozsan – statistics & current form
Fabian Marozsan has had a mixed season on grass so far. In Stuttgart, the Hungarian tennis pro was eliminated by Hamad Medjedovic. After winning the first set, the world number 45 slumped and squandered his victory against the up-and-coming Serbian tennis pro.
In Halle, on the other hand, Marozsan pulled off a small surprise against Roman Safiullin. The 24-year-old – currently number one in Hungary – prevailed in three sets. However, his adventure in Halle came to an end in the following round against Jannik Sinner. Marozsan lost the match against the world number one 1:2.
Although the Magyar managed to pull off a surprise in the second set and the score was evened up at times, Jannik Sinner’s victory was never really in danger at any point. In the third set, the Italian ensured a clear balance of power with a 6:3 win
Has Marozsan digested the defeat in Eastbourne yet?
In contrast to Jan-Lennard Struff, Marozsan was then also represented at the ATP tournament in Eastbourne. Surprisingly, there was a bitter defeat to digest after the strong performances in Halle. Marozsan lost to the world number 81 Vukic in two sets and was broken a total of three times.
Nevertheless, the Hungarian number one won 78% of her points on her first serve. Against Vukic, 52% of points were lost on second serve. A rate that would also be fatal against Jan-Lennard Struff. After all, the German tennis pro is difficult to break.
