Finally in the quarter-finals in Halle

Struff beats Tsitsipas and now challenges the world number one

He has won many matches on clay for TC Blau-Weiss Halle, but Jan-Lennard Struff has not yet been so successful on the grass in Halle. That could change this year, as the German Davis Cup player has finally reached the last eight for the first time in his eleventh appearance. He beat sixth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas 6:4, 6:4.

Jan-Lennard Struff was the more active, the braver player and that really made itself felt in the fifth game of the first set. He placed his returns in the Greek's court in such a way that he immediately came under pressure during the rallies. Coupled with attacks at the net, he managed to break for 3:2 and after half an hour, the native of Westphalia converted his first set point to make it 6:4.

Second set, same sequence: Jan-Lennard Struff once again managed a break in the fifth game. And his serve remained consistently good. Stefanos Tsitsipas was unable to get back into the match. At the last change of ends, the song "If not now, then when" was played. The German took this to heart. After 67 minutes, he was the deserved winner with a strong performance of 6:4, 6:4 and can now look forward to a very special match. Jan-Lennard Struff will take on world number one Jannik Sinner in the quarter-finals.

"I'm absolutely delighted to have reached the quarter-finals for the first time. Many thanks to the spectators, who gave me sensational support. I hope that this will also be the case in the quarter-finals against Jannik," said the deserving winner and let's see what else he can do this year in Halle.
