Struff Holds Of Paul
World no. 24 Jan-Lennard Struff moved into the quarterfinals in Stuttgart for the second time in his career as he ousted fifth seed Tommy Paul in straight sets on Thursday with both the sets going into the tiebreak.
Struff got the only minibreak in the first set tiebreak. He was however broken in the first game of the second set but he found his way back in the set. He pulled back the break, then missed out on a match point in the 12th game, but converted a third match point of the contest in the second set tiebreak to win 7-6 (7-4), 7-6 (7-5) in an hour and 30 minutes.
Struff, who became the first lucky loser to reach a Masters final, when he reached the final in Madrid this year, had defeated China’s Zhizen Zhang 6-1, 6-4 in the first round.
The 33-year-old German is currently sitting on a career-high ranking and the two wins in Stuttgart has improved his season record to 13-8 on the tour, and 38-15 across levels. Those numbers also include a run to the quarterfinal in Monte-Carlo and three semifinal appearances at the Challenger level.

Gasquet Topples the Top Seed
World no. 55 Richard Gasquet showed great resilience as he edged out the top seed Stefanos Tsitsipas in a three-set second round contest.
Gasquet came back from 0-3 down in the opening set to clinch the set in the tiebreak. However, the world no. 5 fought back in the second that forced the decider.
In the final set, Gasquet missed four match points but converted a fifth to charge into the next round with a 7-6 (10-8), 2-6, 7-5 victory.
Gasquet had beaten Christopher Eubanks 7-6, 6-4 in the first round. He is 15-15 across levels this year and that run includes a title success for the 37 years old. Gasquet had won his 16th title from 33 finals in Auckland.
The win over Tsitsipas was also the Frenchman’s 600th career win.
Struff v Gasquet Prediction and Tip
This is going to be a close contest. With three titles on grass, Gasquet has a splendid record. He is also far more experienced than Struff, but the latter is the local boy, who is coming off a brilliant clay court season. Gasquet may need time to recover from the draining two hours and 19 minute contest against Tsitsipas and that may give Struff a slide edge.
Tips:
- Low Risk Tip: Struff to win: 4/7
- Moderate Risk Tip: Over 26.5 games in the match: 5/6
