Struff vs Gasquet Prediction

Jan-Lennard Struff produced an electric serving masterclass to beat Tommy Paul in two tiebreak sets. Struff blasted 21 aces to just two double faults, winning 90% of his first-serve points. Paul didn’t play badly at all, but in the end, it was who won the bigger points, and that’s what proved decisive in the match result. Richard Gasquet, meanwhile, produced the shock of the tournament, after he ousted the top seed Stefanos Tsitsipas 7-6, 2-6, 7-5 in what was a monumental 600th match win on tour. Gasquet is the first Frenchman to hit that landmark and is the fourth active player to do so, after Djokovic, Nadal, and Murray. The soon-to-be 37-yead-old finished off Tsitsipas on his fifth match point. This quarterfinal should be an intriguing matchup. Struff has served impeccably throughout the week, but Gasquet’s ability to neutralize pace on grass makes him a sizable threat. I can see this one going the distance, and I’ll tip Struff to have the edge given how impregnable his serve has looked all week.
