Struff Continues to Excel as Lucky Loser
For the second match in a row, Struff came back from a set down to make it past his opponent and carve out a surprise win.
While Struff had gone into his second round match against Ben Shelton as a favourite, he was a 6/5 underdog in his third round encounter against Dusan Lajovic.
And when Struff lost the first set in a tie-breaker, it looked like his fairy-tale journey in the tournament was about to end. As it turned out, Struff retaliated to win the next two sets and clinch the win.
Struff grabbed the match 6-7 (2), 6-3, 6-3 to march into the fourth round, winning his third match in a row for the second time this season. He had done the same at the Monte-Carlo Masters as well, having started out as a qualifier in that match.
Can he now make it four in a row here?
Cachin Shocks Tiafoe
For the second match in a row, Cachin was a drastic second favourite coming into the encounter and yet, won in straight sets.
Cachin, who was 8/3 to win his third round match, shrugged off a late effort from Frances Tiafoe to win 6-1, 7-6 (2). This is the same scoreline by which he had defeated Francisco Cerundolo in the previous round.
What’s interesting to note is Cachin had come into this tournament on the back of just four main draw wins in the whole of the season before this.
And for him to win three in three, including two huge shocks is a big tick to his form and fighting spirit. And he now faces an opponent who, like his own self, has made it through to round four as a surprise entrant.
Can he make it a win here?
