Jan-Lennard Struff

so impressed with stroff taking out djokovic and this was by far the best tennis that i've ever seen him play and arguably the best result of his career and sometimes it's tough to back up a result like that and he played a good opponent in the quarterfinals borges and i was so pleasantly surprised with stroff because he continued to play an insane level of tennis and completely demolished borges two and three so he makes the final of brussels where he loses a tight three setter to greeksport last week and now he's back in the semi-finals schroff is on fire in the semi-finals he would play lehacka who comfortably took out kim who took out ben shelton in a Very entertaining match, 7-6 in the third.

And the head-to-head between Struff and Lehetschka is 3-0 for Lehetschka.

But the head-to-head between Struff and Djokovic was 8-0 for Djokovic.

So we can't always go by head-to-head when it comes to Jan Lennart because this guy... is one of the most dangerous players on the ATP Tour.

He can hold serve through the entirety of matches.

So certainly another opportunity for Struff to make an ATP Final.

On the bottom half of the draw, we had an entertaining match between Vachero and Rune.

And a couple of things I want to say about Rune is that I'm pleased that he's showing more freedom in his movement.

against Paul than he did against the hard-hitting Basilashvili that doesn't give you that much rhythm.

The next match that I livestreamed was Djokovic-Struff, and Djokovic was 8-0 against Struff prior to this match, and I really did not think that Struff was gonna have a chance to win this match.

But what I saw in this match was by far the best level of tennis that I've ever seen from Jan Lenat.

He was able to hold serve through the entirety of this match.

But in this second set, and this is gonna sound weird, I felt that Novak was the better player because he had breakpoint chances, four of them, and in the first set, it was Jan Lennart that had two breakpoint chances at three all.

on the Djokovic serve.

In the third set, Novak Djokovic continued to apply pressure on the Struff serve.

He had two break points in two separate games.

Similar situations in both matches.

In the semifinal, it cost him the match against Struff.

It almost cost him the set, as you said, against Mickelson.

He'd gone from 5-3 up to a very, very tight tiebreaker.

But he's still a dangerous opponent.

And, you know, we talked about Struff earlier and guys that you don't want to see because, you know, if they catch fire, they can take the racket out of your hand.

Basilashvili is another one of those players.

I had to look.
