Jan-Lennard Struff faces fourth seed Novak Djokovic in Basel, hoping for a first win in this fixture. This is their ninth career meeting and their first this season. Djokovic has dominated the last nine years of this matchup, and our prediction backs the same here.
Djokovic had a winning start to his Basel return after more than 15 years. The Serbian, who last competed in this event in 2011, fought his way from 1-0 down to defeat Ugo Humbert in the first round.
Champion in Basel in 2009, Djokovic will be keen to reign supreme again and continue a strong final stretch of the season.
The former world number one, who is now in 11th place in the live ranking, has won six of his previous seven matches. In this period, he won again in Beijing to secure his first title of the year.
Jan-Lennard Struff has been on the receiving end each time he has faced Djokovic. They first met in Doha in 2017. Their most recent matchup was a year ago in the fourth round at the US Open.
With Djokovic starting to show signs of aging, Struff will feel that this is the perfect time for him to finally get one over the Serb. Struff won in straight sets against his fellow German Yannick Hanfmann in the first round.
The win was his seventh in nine indoor matches, and saw the world number 47 improve to a 25-25 record.
