ATP Brussels Prediction: Jan-Lennard Struff Takes On Marcos Giron
Jan-Lennard Struff
Marcos GironJan-Lennard Struff and Marcos Giron meet at ING Arena in Brussels on October 19 for a place in the round of 16. Struff arrives with two wins from his recent Asian swing, while Giron is trying to end a losing run. The central question for the game total is whether Giron can sustain a challenge beyond one competitive set.
Struff: better results against a demanding schedule
Recent form and competitive level
Struff has won two of his last five matches, with an aggregate set record of 7–7. He beat Thiago Agustin Tirante and Martin Landaluce in straight sets. Two of his three defeats came against Daniil Medvedev: after losing in straight sets in Beijing, he took a set in their Shanghai meeting. That improvement matters more here than the bare negative win-loss balance.
Strengths, gaps and recovery time
Three of Struff's last four matches finished in two sets, so his recent results do not consistently point towards a long contest. His latest appearance was on October 10, leaving nine calendar days before Brussels. The home designation is a draw label, not evidence of a home-court advantage.

Giron: taking sets without finishing matches
A losing run with closer recent scorelines
Giron has lost all five listed matches, winning four sets and conceding eleven. His first two defeats, against Henrique Rocha and Dhakshineswar Suresh, were in straight sets. He then took sets against Ignacio Buse, Jaume Antoni Munar Clar and Sebastian Baez, but none of those matches ended in a win. His latest results show greater resistance, rather than a completed recovery.
Match length and preparation
Giron's last two matches both reached a deciding set, a relevant counterweight to Struff's more frequent straight-set finishes. His last appearance was on October 8, giving him eleven calendar days before this match; the schedule alone does not suggest an immediate recovery disadvantage.

One previous meeting offers a narrow reference
Struff won the only listed meeting within the five-year window, beating Giron 2–1 in Stuttgart on June 6, 2022. That establishes a head-to-head advantage, but one match more than four years earlier carries limited weight for current form. Its three-set duration is relevant to the length discussion, but does not by itself establish whether the Brussels total would have been exceeded.

Our pick for Brussels
For Jan-Lennard Struff against Marcos Giron at ING Arena, our pick is W1 1.61. The German’s recent defeats need context: he lost to Daniil Medvedev, and he took a set in their latest meeting. That is a stronger basis for backing him than treating every defeat as an equivalent measure of form.
Giron’s five-match losing run makes the contrast decisive for this selection. Taking sets has not translated into closing out matches, whereas Struff has recently converted his chances against opponents other than Medvedev. Their sole previous meeting also favours the German, although its age limits its relevance. No fresh injury or fitness updates are available, so there is no confirmed reason to adjust the assessment on those grounds. The expected score is 2–1 to Struff: Giron’s recent resistance makes a dropped set credible.
Final verdict
W1 1.61 is the selection, with the difference in recent match-winning results carrying more weight than the old head-to-head result. Backing Struff to win leaves room for Giron to remain competitive without requiring a straight-sets finish.

A closely balanced game-total market
The supplied market makes Under 23.5 games a marginal favourite at 51.6%, against 48.4% for Over. Over has shortened during the last 24 hours, while Under has drifted: support has moved towards a longer match despite the slight preference for the lower total.
The distinction between sets and games is decisive here. A deciding set can push the total higher, but short sets can limit that effect; two lengthy sets can also produce a high total. The available scores describe set outcomes only. Neither the recent three-set matches nor the market movement alone settles the likely match length.
