A move for Stricker to play?

The Swiss has an interesting profile to annoy Ruud, but we still have to respond!

End of losing streak for Stricker, a relatively well-controlled first round and certainly a match that will do him good given his lack of victory recently. When he manages to be offensive and seizes opportunities he can hurt a lot of people, his serve is also a weapon and there is good room for improvement. Against Ruud we will have to take his time and move forward, that’s good he knows how to do it! The Norwegian had a serious match as always against Bublik, he always wins against the Kazakh but I found him very average this time, very limited in backhands and a lot of unusual mistakes. First round to settle down and then he is more convincing?
