Prediction: Jan-Lennard Struff VS Sebastian Ofner 2025-05-26

The French Open is heating up, and we've got a thrilling matchup between Jan-Lennard Struff and Sebastian Ofner. Ofner, the Austrian sensation, is looking to build on his recent success, having reached the quarterfinals in 2023. Struff, on the other hand, is aiming to cause an upset and take down the favored Ofner.

As Ofner himself said, "I don't see myself as the favorite, although I have been playing much stronger lately." Modest, but we all know he's the one to beat here. The odds are in his favor, with Bovada listing him at 1.38 to win, while Struff is at 3.1.

The spread is set at 4.5 games, with both players priced around 1.87-1.91 to cover. The over/under is 38.5 games, with the over priced at 1.87-1.93 and the under at 1.83-1.91.

My best bet for this match is Sebastian Ofner to win in 3 or 4 sets. Ofner's recent form and superior clay-court performance make him the likely winner. However, Struff is a tough opponent and might push Ofner to four sets. The price for Ofner to win in 3 or 4 sets is not explicitly listed, but based on the head-to-head odds, I'd recommend taking Ofner to win outright at 1.36 (FanDuel) or 1.38 (Bovada).

In terms of value, the spread might be a good option, but it's a bit too close to call. If you're feeling bold, take Ofner to cover the -4.5 games spread at 1.83 (MyBookie.ag) or 1.87 (Bovada).

Overall, Ofner is the smart pick here, but don't expect a cakewalk. Struff will put up a fight, and this match could go the distance.
