Struff lost to Tiafoe but it was a very close match, this will be Struff's first ATP title if he can beat his opponent, he played pretty well only his opponent played even more solidly despite the pressure from the crowd that was on the German's side.
Prior to the finals, both have met in two matches. Each have won a match, and this made winning prediction hard. Somehow based on the player statistics Struff had an upper hand against Tiafoe. Finally Tiafoe made it in style with two deciding set wins. Missed the first set 4-6 and fought back to win the other two sets 7
7-6
1 7
10-6
8. With this he had recorded his third ATP Singles title and first grass court title.
Yes, Struff played really great. He started well and Tiafoe was a bit better in the decisive moments. Otherwise he would have won his first ATP tournament. So far he has tried it 200 times. But if he keeps playing like this he will win his first tournament this year. I am curious to see how he will perform in Halle.
