Roger Federer and Jan-Lennard Struff are going to play in the second round in Basel on Thursday.
Federer
Roger is chasing his 9th title in Basel and the 99th of his amazing career. However, the Swiss didn’t start his campaign in the best possible way after he struggled a lot in his opening match against the world no.35 Filip Krajinovic to win 6-2 4-6 6-4 after being broken 4 times. Still, the Swiss is used to “recover” during his tournaments from bad performances and he is expected to be at his best in the 2nd round.
Struff
Ranked no.52, Jan-Lennard had a couple of good runs recently after he reached the quarters in both Tokyo and Antwerp. In the first round in Basel, he defeated John Millman (Federer’s US Open conqueror) 7-6 (3) 6-2.
