In the first round of the tournament, Jan-Lennard Struff from Germany will be facing Leandro Riedi from Switzerland.

Jan-Lennard Struff, aged 34, is currently ranked at number 37 in the world. His career-high ranking was at number 21, which he achieved in June 2023 after reaching the final of the 2023 Stuttgart tournament, where he lost to Tiafoe. Struff has had notable achievements in his career, including upsetting Stefanos Tsitsipas, who was ranked number 5 at the time, at the 2023 Madrid tournament as a lucky loser. He became the first lucky loser in the history of ATP Masters 1000 events to reach the championship match, where he fell to Alcaraz. Struff has also had successes on home soil, having reached his first ATP Tour singles final at the 2021 Munich tournament, defeated world number 2 Daniil Medvedev at the 2021 Halle tournament, and won his first ATP Tour title at the 2024 Munich tournament. He also has victories over top players such as David Goffin and Casper Ruud in ATP Masters 1000 events and achieved his best Grand Slam performance with a fourth-round appearance at the 2019 Roland Garros.

Leandro Riedi, aged 22, is currently ranked at number 134 in the world, with a career-high ranking of number 126 in March 2023. He made his ATP Tour debut as a wildcard at the 2021 Gstaad tournament and earned his first tour-level win at the 2023 Marseille

tournament. Riedi has had success in Challenger events, with a record of 55 wins and 29 losses, including four finals appearances and four title victories. He completed his junior career at the 2020 Roland Garros, reaching the final of the boys’ singles event but losing to Stricker.

His sole victory over a top-ranked player came against Borna Coric in the final of the 2024 Ottignies-Louvain-la-Neuve Challenger. Riedi will be seeking the biggest win of his career in this match to advance to his first ATP Tour quarter-final and become the first Swiss quarter-finalist in Gstaad since Wawrinka in 2013.

To summarize, this match will mark the second meeting between Jan-Lennard Struff and Leandro Riedi, with Riedi winning their previous encounter in the semi-finals of the 2023 Canberra Challenger.
