PropsBot’s model makes Jannik Sinner the pick to win this Wimbledon quarterfinal on grass, at 92% to 8% for Jan-Lennard Struff. Sinner arrives as the defending champion and the world No. 1; Struff, at 36, is the oldest Grand Slam quarterfinal debutant of the professional era, an unseeded qualifier who has already outrun every projection to reach the last eight.
The Case for Jannik Sinner
The model’s 92% on Sinner is about control of the rally, not the serve. Struff actually grades the bigger serve on grass — a 245 serve rating to Sinner’s 221, with more aces per match (9.3 to 7.7) — so if this match stays on serve, the German is dangerous. But Sinner wins first serves at a higher clip (81% to 76%), holds more often (73% to 66%), and the separation is on return: a 125 return rating to 110, 43% of return points won to 36%, and a 42% break-conversion rate to 32%. On a surface where one break can decide a set, the best returner in the match is the one the model trusts.
The Case for Jan-Lennard Struff
Struff’s 8% is not zero, and the reason is the serve. His 245 serve rating and 9.3 aces a match mean he can shorten points, pile up holds, and drag a set into a tiebreak where anything happens — exactly the script that produced his run to this quarterfinal. But he needs to do it three times against the game’s best returner, and his own return numbers (a 110 rating, 32% break conversion) give him few free looks the other way. The underdog path is a serving clinic and a stolen tiebreak, not a sustained edge.
