The Struff dreams are made of 🇩🇪 Jan-Lennard Struff shocks Casper Ruud 6-1 7-6 to make the quarters! #RolexMonteCarloMasters
Casper Ruud is out of the Monte-Carlo Masters as the Norwegian was beaten by qualifier Jan-Lennard Struff who was the better player overall 6-1 7-6(6).
It was a very interesting match between Ruud and Struff, especially in the second set where the German nearly choked. The first set was an utter beatdown by Struff who put massive pressure on Ruud with his serving and his volleying. He also attacked the serve of Ruud early in rallies producing a lot of trouble.
6-1 was the final score in the first set for Struff as he had 11 winners and only 3 errors in that one. Ruud was out of sync for much of that set and he continued to struggle in the second set falling behind 5-2. In the next game, Struff had a chance to close it out but he proved a bit nervous opening up the game with 0-40. He would make it 40-40 and create two match points but didn't use them and got broken.
That made Struff even more nervous as he started to rush in rallies producing quite a bit of errors. Ruud was able to battle all the way back with another break and force a tiebreak. In the tiebreak, it was the German who ultimately prevailed 8-6 after a pretty decent battle. Just not a very good match from Ruud and a really strong one from Struff.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
