Keys to the match

Djokovic scenario: his experience and return quality may reduce the impact of Struff's first serve and power game, while the best-of-three format allows more opportunities to come back after a difficult set.
Struff scenario: the indoor hard court may increase the value of his serve and fast shots, and his recent run in Brussels may support his competitive rhythm.
Both interpretations remain fragile because the scores, durations, and actual freshness from the first rounds cannot be verified.

Players & fitness

No injury, physical limitation, or recovery duration has been confirmed for either player.
Service and return statistics specific to this matchup are not documented.
The score and duration of Struff's first-round match against Yannick Hanfmann remain unknown, as do those of Djokovic's first-round match against Ugo Humbert.
