Struff Reaches Fourth Munich Quarter-Final

Spoiler:

German will meet Krajinovic in last eight
Jan-Lennard Struff added a fourth quarter-final to his BMW Open resume in Munich on Thursday with a 7-6(3), 6-7(0), 6-2 victory against countryman Dominik Koepfer.

The 31-year-old recovered from 2-4 down in the first set and won the final four games of the match to reach the last eight in Munich after two hours and 39 minutes. Struff struck 11 aces throughout his first ATP Head2Head encounter against Koepfer and saved four of the five break points he faced to improve to 10-6 at the ATP 250.

“I am very, very happy that I turned around the first set,” Struff said in his on-court interview. “I played a not good second-set tie-break. Before [that] the set was okay, but I couldn’t lock into his service games that much… I am very happy that I broke him in the third set and I am very happy to be through. Dominik is a good guy and a very good player.”

How To Watch

Struff will attempt to reach his second Munich semi-final (2014) when he faces fourth seed Filip Krajinovic on Friday. The World No. 44 lost his only previous match against the Serbian in three sets at the 2014 Hamburg European Open.

“I am really looking forward to my match tomorrow against Filip Krajinovic… I think it is going to be a very tough match. I played him in Hamburg [seven] years ago and lost in three sets. I hope I can beat him tomorrow.”

Nikoloz Basilashvili also reached the quarter-finals with a 6-4, 6-2 win against Daniel Elahi Galan. The fifth seed converted four of his seven break points to move past the Colombian qualifier in 77 minutes.

Basilashvili will meet Norbert Gombos in the last eight. The lucky loser reached his second quarter-final of the European clay swing with a 6-4, 6-1 win against Federico Coria.

Struff Reaches First ATP Tour Final In Munich

Spoiler:

German to challenge Basilashvili on Sunday
Jan-Lennard Struff bounced back from a slow start on Saturday to book a place in his first ATP Tour final at the BMW Open. The seventh-seeded German broke a seven-match losing streak in semi-finals with a 6-4, 6-1 victory over Belarusian qualifier Ilya Ivashka in 87 minutes.

"I am happy to have reached my first final on home soil in Germany and I will try my best tomorrow," said the 31-year-old from Warstein, a 360-mile car ride north of Munich.

How To Watch

Struff will next challenge fifth-seeded Georgia Nikoloz Basilashvili in Sunday’s final. Struff is tied at 2-2 in his ATP Head2Head series against Basilashvili, who won their recent Sardegna Open quarter-final clash 7-5, 4-6, 6-3.

Ivashka raced out to a 3-0 lead, before Struff started to find his service rhythm and forehand range. Struff, who saved three break points at 4-3, closed out the 48-minute opener with an unreturned serve.


Ivashka showed fighting spirit by saving three break points in the opening game of the second set, but Struff make the breakthrough two games later with a powerful backhand. The German gained a 4-1 advantage with a forehand return winner and didn’t look back.

The 27-year-old Ivashka, who beat two-time former champion and top seed Alexander Zverev on Friday, had also been attempting to reach his first ATP Tour final.
