Mahut will have support of fans today but i think that will not be enough for the win. He have good service, but he cannot play on good level like before..and that is understandable because Mahut have 33 years, he is veteran and he maybe can something to win in doubles , but in singles I dont give them many chance.
Struff is young player, but talented ahd he surely can be in top 30 players. I expect him very soon in top50.
Last year in MArseille he play very good tennis. Win against Benneteau and Llodra, and lose in semi-final against Tsonga..but Struff played an excellent match against Tsonga.
As we see, Struff dont have problems against home players, and that is not adventage for Mahut.
Franche player have more experience, but in this moment Struff play better tennis, he have big motive because defending a lot of points from last year. I dont expect easy match, but for me Struff is biiger favorite than bookies think and i must take this odd.
Good Luck!
