On day two at the ATP Sardinia Open in Cagliari eight first-round matches are scheduled and, as always, we here at LWOT will be offering our predictions for every match, including Gilles Simon vs Stefano Travaglia<\/a>. But who will book their place in the round of 16 in Sardinia?<\/p>\n

ATP Sardinia Open Day Two Predictions<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Joao Sousa vs Jan-Lennard Struff<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Head-to-head:<\/strong> Sousa 1-1 Struff<\/p>\n

Joao Sousa is currently ranked 107th<\/sup> in the world, which is surely under par for a player with the talent he possesses. But the rankings do not lie. A string of bad losses have put him in this relatively lowly position and, despite a narrow win over Christopher O\u2019Connell in the first round at the ATP Miami Open, it looks increasingly unlikely that he will turn things around this year. Jan-Lennard Struff is still searching for a maiden title on the ATP Tour, but the world #41 has built a solid career<\/a> and is generally at home on the clay. Expect the German, who enters this match in slightly better form, to progress.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Struff in 3
