Struff resurfaces

Also absent for a few months, the German is back on the pitch and given what he has shown us this season we can't wait to see him again!

A bit like Khachanov, I'm going to remain cautious and take the analysis with a grain of salt since it's a return match for Struff. Our Struffi was having a great tour on grass before getting injured, his aggressive game works perfectly in fast conditions and good for him, it's the case here in China. The surface is different this year compared to previous editions, it's much faster and he should enjoy it. Opposed in addition to an Earthman not necessarily comfortable against guys who put pressure on him this match depends, for me, largely on Struff. Garin sucked in his first round here but we must highlight the good match of his opponent, the young Zhou, already powerful and to whom I find similarities with Zhang. The Chilean got out of this quagmire match but he served very poorly and faced with a player who attacks as much on the return as Struff he will have to raise the level on this side otherwise he will be punished.
