Struff is going to face Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in round one and he\u2019s going to need all the luck he can get to advance to the next round. That said , it won\u2019t be a breeze for Tsonga either, as Struff has given the Frenchman some headaches in the past.<\/p>\n<p>Struff hasn\u2019t won in two career matches against Tsonga, but avoided losing in blowout fashion in both. Take for example Struff\u2019s 6-4 6-4 loss to Tsonga in last year\u2019s Monte Carlo Masters. The other matchup was a 7-6(4) 7-5 in Marseille in 2014. \u00a0In Monte Carlo, Struff\u2019s serve game was on point with a 71% (39 of 55) success rate.\u00a0 Struff recorded four double faults though.<\/p>\n<p>Struff is coming off a finals appearance in the Necarkcup in Germany. He has an 8-20 career record on clay courts.<\/p>\n<h3>Betting on Jo-Wilfried Tsonga<\/h3>\n<p>Tsonga\u2019s biggest nightmare right now is losing right in the first round of the French Open. That\u2019s unlikely to happen though, considering his rank and the quality of his opponent.<\/p>\n<p>Ranked seventh in the world, Tsonga will march into Roland Garros on the heels of a withdrawal from the recent Rome Masters. Tsonga was forced to exit the tournament after injuring his thigh muscle in a practice session. His injury didn\u2019t seem too serious, however, and his pull out from the tournament was likely more of a precautionary step with the more prestigious French Open on the horizon.<\/p>\n<p>Assuming his healthy, Tsonga should be met with decent to little resistance from Struff in the first round.<\/p>\n<p>Tsonga had regularly broken Struff\u2019s serves in their past meetings. He did that twice in Marseilles and in Monte Carlo.<\/p>\n<p>Tsonga has a 75-42 record in ATP World Tour and Grand Slam clay court matches.<\/p>\n<h3>Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>Tsonga (<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/tennis\/mens-french-open-round-of-128\" target=\"_blank\">-800<\/a>) wins in four sets.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/6\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Create a betting account now<\/a> and bet on the 2016 French Open.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/28\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-143054\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Wimbledon-2017-News-banner.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"110\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jo-Wilfred Tsonga\u2019s chase for his first Grand Slam continues this month, as he participates in the 2016 French Open.
