Thursday's French Open round of 64 pits Jaime Faria against Jan Lennard Struff on clay. Jaime Faria is rolling — 3 straight wins, 6 of 10 in recent play. Jan Lennard Struff has won 4 of the last 10.
Jaime Faria leads the head-to-head 1-0, and history has a way of mattering in matchups like this one. On clay specifically it reads 1-0 Faria — worth more than the overall number this week.
Neither the serve numbers nor the ratings separate these two by much, which is why our number stays close to even. The edge belongs to Faria — real, but not the kind you take for granted at this level.
