Struff failed in the round of 16 in Stuttgart – Zverev now required!
In the tennis tournament in Stuttgart, Jan-Lennard Struff came to a disappointing end in the round of 16. He lost to the Czech Jiri Lehecka 4:6, 5:7. Struff is therefore eliminated from the tournament and cannot build on his previous successes. Last season he was a finalist in this prestigious tournament, but he is currently not showing the form of 2023, as ZVW reports.
The game was marked by difficulties for Struff, especially with his serves. He had big problems in the first set, which ultimately led to him losing the set early. The second set was more exciting and balanced, but Struff lost his serve at the critical point when the score was 5:6. Lehecka proved to be a precise opponent and used his first match point with a strong serve, as [Sportschau.de/regional/swr/swr-lehecka-zu-praezise-fuer-jan-lennard-struff-100.html notes].
Quarterfinal participants
With Jiri Lehecka's move into the quarterfinals, he will now face Ben Shelton from the USA. Shelton had previously successfully won his match against Pierre-Hugues Herbert from France 7:6 (7:4), 7:5. One of the favorites in the tournament is Taylor Fritz, who beat Quentin Halys 6:3, 7:6 (8:6). Fritz will face Marton Fucsovics from Hungary in the quarterfinals.
Another highlight of the tournament will be the appearance of Alexander Zverev, who will take part in the action on Thursday. Zverev, top seed, meets Frenchman Corentin Moutet. This is Zverev's first appearance since his exit in the quarterfinals of the French Open. There is a possibility that he will only meet Fritz in the final if he advances.
In other scenes, Justin Engel, a 17-year-old talent, could score a big upset when he plays against American Alex Michelsen. It remains to be seen how the tournament will develop and who will ultimately take home the prestigious title in Stuttgart.
