Jan-Lennard Struff Vs Milos Raonic: Match Prediction

This might be a no brainer but Raonic is a clear favorite if we go off his performance in the previous year. Struff has not played any matches of note in 2020.

Both these players tend to stick to the baseline. So the most decisive factor could be the time played. One is an established player with room for improvement and the other is a player on the climb.

Match Prediction: Milos Raonic with two to one set.
