The ATP 250 tournament in Munich is up in action, serving fans with high entertainment levels. Several top names like Holger Rune, and Alexander Zverev tried their luck to make it to the finals but somehow ended up in disappointment. After one German had to rest his hopes, Jan-Lennard Struff stepped forward to hold the baton. While the tennis star secured his place in the finals, he had to jump through hoops to get there.
The fact that Struff secured a spot in the finals against Taylor Fritz took every fan’s expectations to new heights. However, behind his glorious run for the title, there was a hectic mismatch in schedule that he had to manage. The real hustle began when his quarterfinal match against Felix Auger Aliassime had to be rescheduled due to heavy rains.
The match, which was scheduled to be played on 19th April was halted after the first and was resumed on the next day where the German finished the match with a massive 7-5, 4-6 win. Moving ahead with his run, the tennis star had to play another match on the same day against Holger Rune. While everyone expected that he would have to face difficulty playing against the young Dan, the odds turned out to be on the contrary.
