Jan-Lennard Struff vs Felix Auger-Aliassime Prediction

Although he often features in the business end of tour events, and even won his first ATP Singles title at the BMW Open in 2024, Jan-Lennard Struff has never embarked upon a particularly memorable run at a Grand Slam, particularly at either of the hard-court offerings.

Indeed, the 24-year-old has only ever won two main draw matches at the Australian, despite this being his 11th appearance, and he didn’t look particularly likely to improve that record in his warm-up tournament, where he lost to eventual champion Gael Monfils in the round of 16 of the ASB Classic in Auckland.

The German now faces the winner of the other ATP tournament taking place in the week prior to the Australian Open, with Felix Auger-Aliassime claiming his sixth ATP Singles title at the Adelaide International, defeating Sebastian Korda – his third American opponent of the event – in the final.

With that being the Canadian’s first title on outdoor hard courts, he is bound to be feeling confident about his game heading into this contest. He has generally been a strong performer in Melbourne, in contrast to Struff, and he could be worth backing to win this in straight sets.
