Champion Jannik Sinner ended one of the feel-good stories at this year’s Wimbledon when he tamed big-serving German warrior Jan-Lennard Struff 7-5 7-6(4) 6-3 to reach the semi-finals on Tuesday.
Struff’s Run Ends
In his 47th Grand Slam appearance, Struff had become the oldest man in the professional era to reach his first major quarter-final, at the age of 36.
A break for a 6-5 lead in the first set was enough for the Italian to bag the set and when Struff held set point in the 10th game of the second, Sinner maintained his laser focus to produce an unreturnable serve.
Sinner will face either Novak Djokovic or Felix Auger-Aliassime for a place in the final.
