What an achievement by Jan-Lennard Struff! The German Davis Cup player was already comfortably leading with 2-0 sets against Andrey Rublev, seemed to have lost the momentum with the loss of the fourth round - and finally drew 6: 3, 7: 6 (6 ), 3: 6, 4: 6 and 6: 4 in the second round. For Struff it was the seventh win in a five-set match in a row. After 3:48 hours, Struff used his second match point with a strong serve, which Rublev no longer brought into the field.
