There are several French Open first-round matches taking place on Monday, one of which sees Alexander Bublik and Jan-Lennard Struff do battle. A quick glance at the rankings suggests that this is very much Bublik's match to lose, while the early lines confirm this. However, the world number ten has not quite been at his best in recent weeks, while his German opponent is a better player than his current ranking suggests.
What's more, Struff has a very good clay-court record against Bubkik, who may be the higher-ranked player, but he's been far from perfect on clay courts in recent times, losing to players not a million miles away from Struff's level. If we also consider that Struff won when the pair met at the French Open back in 2024, then the German looks a little generously priced to compete.

Our Alexander Bublik vs Jan-Lennard Struff Prediction
If Alexander Bublik was coming into this first-round match off the back of a some convincing displays, he would be very difficult to oppose, but that's not the case.

Such form tells us that he could easily struggle to be dominant against Jan-Lennard Struff.
