The German has good memories of Rune
Only once did Struff and the Dane meet on the ATP tour and at that time the experienced German prevailed: in 2024 at the semi-finals of Munich, Struff did not let his opponent 6: 2, 6-0 a chance and got the first ATP title of his career a day later! There are certainly very good memories of the Warsteiner, who will also hope for the inconsistency of the 22-year-old in this second-round match.

Rune wants to go back to the top 10
Holger Rune is no longer a young talent, but has established himself on the tour among the best players. But in the past two years, the 22-year-old has had to deal with fluctuations in performance and many coaches. This year the Dane is at a record of 28-16 and won a title on sand in Barcelona. At Grand Slams, on the other hand, Rune remained behind his own expectations, because he was eliminated in Melbourne and Paris in the fourth round and in Wimbledon he had to delete the sail in the first round. At the US Open, the number eleven of the world could not show its skills: in the past two years, Rune retired in the first round, in 2022 he managed to move into round three with his best result in New York – can he at least do the same with this achievement today with a victory against Struff?

Struff comes into the main field through the qualification
After Struff had reached its best placement in the world rankings in mid-2023, the 35-year-old also slipped steadily due to injury and is only the 144 of the world. In New York, he played through the qualification in the main field of the US Open – for the other three Grand Slams he was still automatically there due to his better placement. In the first round, Struffi was challenged against the American McDonald, but won despite the loss of sets! In New York the man from Warstein is there for the tenth time, his best result was the third round 2018 and 2020.
