Struff will play the BOSS OPEN
Jan-Lennard Struff has made headlines with his run of success all the way to the final of the ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Madrid. Soon, the German can be seen live again in his home country. Struff will play on grass at the BOSS OPEN from 10 to 18 June.
Jan-Lennard Struff had entered the main draw in Madrid as a lucky loser. However, the German's run through to the final was anything but lucky and rather due to his powerful and offensive style of play. Struff celebrated no fewer than five three-set victories on his way to the final, including in the quarterfinals against the Greek world number five Stefanos Tsitsipas.
Struff also delivered a tough battle with Spain's Carlos Alcaraz in the final, in which the local hero also had to go over three sets to bag the tournament win. By reaching the final in Madrid, the 33-year-old Struff has catapulted himself to 28th place in the world rankings – a new career high. It is now even possible that Struff will play the BOSS OPENas the German number one, if he can preserve his form.
Struff has good memories of Stuttgart, having reached the semifinals at the Weissenhof in 2019. "I’m looking forward to the tournament in Stuttgart, the change to grass a few years ago was great for the event. I feel very comfortable at Weissenhof and I'm looking forward to playing in front of a German crowd”, emphasized Struff, whose upward trend has already become apparent when he reached the quarter-finals of the ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Monte Carlo.
"Jan-Lennard Struff has shown outstanding performances in Monte Carlo as well as in Madrid. The BOSS OPEN have been an integral part of his tournament calendar in recent years. We are delighted that he will be coming to Stuttgart again this year. He is currently in excellent form, so I am sure that he will also be a force to be reckoned with at the Weissenhof", says Tournament Director Edwin Weindorfer.
In addition to Struff, the Italian defending champion Matteo Berrettini, the US Americans Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe, the Australian Nick Kyrgios and the Canadian Denis Shapovalov have already committed to this year's BOSS OPEN.
