One of Friday's matches at the Mutua Madrid Open, on the ATP side, sees Jan-Lennard Struff and Alex Michelsen go head-to-head. Often a frustrating player to follow in the betting, Jan-Lennard Struff was at his explosive best during the first round, and with the conditions in Madrid favoring aggressive play, it's fair to say that the German has plenty in his favor this week. He likes Madrid having previously reached the final of this event, so he looks better placed to defeat the higher-ranked Michelsen than the early odds suggest.
Michelsen hasn't exactly made a great start to the 2026 clay-court season, losing two out of three, and he comes here having lost in straight sets in Munich just under a fortnight ago. Given that he's yet to play competitively in Madrid, he may be less prepared than his opponent, who should simply relish the conditions more than the American.
