More patience required!
On Center Court, the first game of the day goes into the third set! Jan-Lennard Struff and Alexander Bublik have to be patient with that. In a good hour, however, they will be able to start quite certainly. In this way, the actors can now at least prepare themselves appropriately for the start.

Advantage Struff?
The two players have faced each other three times in recent years. Jan-Lennard Struff always had the better end on his side. The Warsteiner only lost one set against today’s opponent. However, the two players have not met on grass so far.

start is delayed
Because the Italian duel between Sonego and Sinner on Center Court is pretty much at eye level, the start for Struff and Bublik is delayed by at least another half hour. The two will certainly not be able to enter the square before 2:15 p.m.

favorite topping
However, Jan-Lennard Struff is not facing an easy task. With Alexander Bublik he has a specialist on grass ahead of him today. The powerful Kazakh feels particularly comfortable on the green surface. He showed that, among other things, in his first round match when he shot Borna Coric out of the tournament. With 6: 3 and 6: 1 he dismantled the Croatian. Among other things, Bublik recorded 15 aces. So Struff will be warned about the quality of his opponent.

A new try
Jan-Lennard Struff is perhaps playing the best season of his career. The big highlight was certainly the final at the Masters in Madrid, but otherwise Struffi can be quite satisfied. The only thing missing from Warsteiner is his first title on the tour. In Stuttgart he was close again with another final, but had to settle for second place again. Now the next attempt is to follow in Halle!
