Tennis in Wimbledon: “First day daycare party tomorrow”

The mother of his two sons was there from Sunday to Wednesday. “She watched the first game, the second she had to get on the plane at the same time, the children are at home,” said the Sauerlander. There is school and because of compulsory education it is not possible for the family to be in London during the week without any problems. Struff became a father in 2019 and 2022.

Fingers will certainly be crossed at home on Sunday. Against Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz, the Warsteiner would like to reach the quarterfinals of one of the four Grand Slam tournaments for the first time in his tennis career.

This is Struff’s opponent

“I think he was out for a bit now with a knee injury. Before that he was a brutally dangerous player, especially on grass,” said Struff about his upcoming opponent.

Former top ten player Hurkacz made a name for himself at Wimbledon when he reached the semi-finals in 2021. On the way there, the Pole defeated the Swiss tennis legend Roger Federer in the quarterfinals – and won the last, third set 6-0. It was the last appearance of the eight-time Wimbledon winner Federer at the London grass classic.

Struff won two games and lost two against Hurkacz, who is known as a strong server. The last comparison so far was more than two years ago. In the world rankings, Hurkacz has slipped to 96th place, Struff is in 74th place.
