Novak Djokovic was a size too big – nevertheless, tennis professional Jan-Lennard Struff is strengthened from the dress rehearsal for the US Open. “I’m still proud of my first quarter-final appearance at an ATP 1000 event,” wrote the 30-year-old on Instagram after the 3: 6, 1: 6 defeat against the world number one at the Western & Southern Open in New York: “I will take away a lot of positive memories from this week.” From now on, his focus will be on the Grand Slam tournament in New York, which starts on Monday, wrote Struff, which will crack the top 30 in the world rankings for the first time. Against Djokovic, who won all of his 21 matches on the tour this year, Struff had no chance and was “very disappointed”, he had calculated more.
