John Millman v Jan-Lennard Struff Head to Head
The pair have played each other three times before, and Struff leads their head-to-head series by two matches to one. Millman won their first encounter on the clay of Hamburg in 2018, but Struff avenged that defeat on an indoor hard court in Basel later that same year, and won again at Indian Wells in 2019.

Millman Looking for His Best Form in 2021
Millman has been having a disappointing 2021 by his usual consistent standards.
The Australian is known as an experienced pro, normally guaranteed to go reasonably deep into tournaments, and he celebrated the end of the 2020 season, by winning his first senior title in Nur-Sultan.
However, he largely has not been able to build on that and his run to the third round in Washington a week ago was his best result of the year, although he would have been disappointed to lose at that stage to the young American Jenson Brooksby.
More recently, he beat the Lithuanian qualifier Ricardas Bernakis in the first round in Toronto, but then was beaten by Gael Monfils.
The second round is the furthest he has been on his previous visits to this event.

Struff Was a Quarterfinalist Here Last Year
Struff was not originally scheduled to be in the main draw but was given his berth following the withdrawal of world number one Novak Djokovic.
The German will have happy memories of this tournament last year when it was played in New York as a curtain raiser to the US Open, – he reached the quarter-final, his best ever result in a Masters’ tournament, and, on the back of that, entered the world’s top 30 for the first time.
He has so far, not been able to consolidate on that in 2021, although he did reach his maiden senior ATP final in May, losing eventually to Nikoloz Basilashvili.
The 31-year old then reached the fourth round of the French Open for the second time in his career, but his results since then have been disappointing.
Last week he was beaten in the first round in Toronto by the Italian Fabio Fognini in three sets.
Millman v Struff Prediction and Tip
Struff has the better head-to-head record, and Millman is marginally in the better form of the two right now, and will probably start the slight favourite.
Tip: Millman to win: 10/11 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
