Cazaux vs Struff

ATP US Open 🎾
Arthur Cazaux vs Jan-Lennard Struff

🧠 Form & Context

Arthur Cazaux (No. 75, age 22)
🔥 Finalist in Kitzbühel last month (beat Struff en route).
✅ USO qualies: d. Lajal & Clarke, no sets lost.
📊 2025 record: 21–17 (8–9 on hard).
⚡ Aggressive baseliner, huge forehand, thrives in best-of-five.
⚠️ Inconsistent vs higher-ranked opposition, serve percentage dips hurt him.

Jan-Lennard Struff (No. 145, age 35)
🎾 Veteran, ex-top 25, dangerous with serve/forehand combo.
✅ USO qualies: d. Chidekh, then comeback win vs Daniel T.
📊 2025 record: 13–23 (3–9 on hard).
🏆 One ATP title last year; inconsistent this season.
⚠️ Durability in long matches a concern; slowed movement vs peak.

Head-to-Head: 1–0 Cazaux
• 2025 Kitzbühel QF (clay): Cazaux d. Struff 6-3, 6-4.

🔍 Match Breakdown

Cazaux’s keys: Deep returns to blunt serve, forehand dictation, fast starts.
Struff’s keys: High 1st-serve %, shorten rallies with forehand strikes.
Dynamic: Youth + momentum of Cazaux vs veteran firepower. Longer rallies tilt Frenchman’s way.

🔮 Prediction

Cazaux’s win over Struff last month is a strong data point, and he’s sharper and more consistent right now. Struff’s serve keeps it competitive, but across best-of-five, Cazaux’s edge in stamina and confidence should tell.

🧩 Pick: Cazaux in 4 sets

🔍 Match Breakdown

Momentum: Cîrstea has yet to lose a set this week, Zakharova came through tighter battles.
