This segment offers an analysis and tennis game prediction for the match.
Jan-Lennard Struff, coming off a strong performance, defeated Albert Ramos Vinolas in straight sets during the first round. The match was tightly contested with tiebreakers deciding both sets.

Our Tennis Prediction for Jan-Lennard Struff vs Leandro Riedi
The prediction for Jan-Lennard Struff vs. Leandro Riedi is that Struff will win in straight sets.
Struff’s extensive experience and success on clay courts this year position him as a favorite for this match and potentially for the title.
