Tennis Betting | ATP BMW Open Predictions For Semi-Final Match

Ilya Ivashka Vs No. 44 Jan-Lennard Struff

  • When: Saturday, May 1, 2021, at TBD

Ilya Ivashka

The world No. 107  won two qualifying matches to make the main draw including a 6-2, 3-6, 6-0 win over Ricardas Berankis. Ivashka won two main draw matches to reach the quarterfinals against world No. 7 and top-seeded Alexander Zverev on Friday.

Ivashka was 4-4 on the year with no titles coming into the BMW Open, but he recently took the incomparable Rafael Nadal three sets in Barcelona while winning the first set 6-3. Ivashka also took world No. 11 Denis Shapovalov three sets at the ATP Masters in Miami.

Jan-Lennard Struff

World No. 44 Jan-Lennard Struff won his opener against Andrej Martin in straight sets before going the distance on Thursday to dispatch Dominik Koepfer 7-6 (3), 6-7 (0), 6-2 on Thursday. Struff then went the distance again before emerging victorious with a 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 (3) win over Filip Krajinovic on Friday.

Struff was an uninspiring 7-9 on the year coming into this event, but he’s recorded a pair quality wins over world No. 15 Milos Raonic and world No. 26 Dusan Lajovic at the ATP Cup in Melbourne.

Head-to-Head

These two players have met once in their careers with the 31-year-old Struff recording a 6-4, 6-4 win over the 27-year-old Ivashka in the first round of a Germany vs. Belarus qualifying matchup a year ago.

Expert Analysis and Prediction

Jan-Lennard Struff is the far more experienced player in this matchup and his consecutive three-set wins shows some serious mental fortitude and grit. Struff could be ripe for the upset because of the weary legs I’m expecting to see from him in this match, but in the end, I think he’s going to go all-out to get a meaningful win that would land him in the finals.

This one should be a knock-down, drag-out fight to the finish, but I’m going with Jan-Lenard Struff in three sets!

Pick: Jan-Lennard Struff in 3 Sets
