Surface is the first filter before round or opponent quality. Compare clay baselines in the clay-court betting guide and grass patterns in the grass-court specificity guide when translating these rates into match previews.
Tournament tier: reliability by event level
| Tournament level | Matches | Win rate |
|---|---|---|
| Grand Slam | 23 | 43.5% |
| Masters 1000 | 39 | 48.7% |
| ATP 500 | 18 | 27.8% |
| ATP 250 | 45 | 55.6% |

Grand Slam and Masters samples matter most for pricing; ATP 250/500 volume often inflates or deflates the headline win rate. Cross-check against Tommy Paul or Francisco Cerundolo for other ranks-21–50 archetypes.
Round-by-round: early rounds vs deep runs
| Round | Matches | Win rate |
|---|---|---|
| 1R | 83 | 45.8% |
| 2R | 16 | 62.5% |
| 3R | 8 | 37.5% |
| QF | 11 | 36.4% |
| SF | 4 | 75.0% |
| F | 3 | 33.3% |

Round curves separate true closers from early-round specialists. A drop at QF/SF is a fade signal even when the overall win rate looks healthy — the same structural idea as Rublev's late-round ceiling.
H2H against elite rivals
| Rival | W–L | Win rate |
|---|---|---|
| Tsitsipas | 2–3 | 40.0% |
| Alcaraz | 0–4 | 0.0% |
| De Minaur | 1–2 | 33.3% |
| Sinner | 0–3 | 0.0% |
| Medvedev | 0–3 | 0.0% |
| Ruud | 1–1 | 50.0% |
| Rune | 2–0 | 100.0% |
Elite H2H is sparse for many mid-ranked players; only rows with multiple meetings are shown. Use these as matchup modifiers, not as a substitute for surface form.
Favourite vs underdog split

| Underdog | 59 | 40.7% |

How our model treats Jan-Lennard Struff
The ensemble weights surface win-rate history, recent form (last 5 / last 10), and tournament-tier context most heavily for a rank-21–50 profile like this. Favourite/underdog conversion is a secondary prior when odds history is dense enough (here: 102 matches with usable prices). Uncertainty rises when the next match is on a thin-sample surface or against an elite rival with a one-sided H2H.
