Germany’s Jan-Lennard Struff has been included in the list of players for the upcoming Ultimate Tennis Showdown (UTS) Frankfurt competition.
The 33-year-old has struggled with fitness concerns in the recent past but despite that, he has been included in the list as a replacement for Australia’s Nick Kyrgios.
The 28-year-old has not featured in any big event this year because of fitness concerns and recently announced that he will miss the upcoming US Open as well.
On the other hand, Struff last played a match in June earlier this year during the Halle Open and since then is spending time on the sidelines because of a hip injury.
It is because of this reason he missed the recently concluded Wimbledon 2023 as well.
Struff is not the only injured player who has been added to the list of players who will feature in the competition as it also included America’s Reilly Opelka.
The 25-year-old, just like Kyrgios, has not featured in any of the major events this year because of injuries.
The competition will also feature some other big-name players including the likes of the current world number three Russia’s Daniil Medvedev, his fellow countryman Andrey Rublev, America’s Christopher Eubanks, France’s Gael Monfils, Diego Schwartzman of Argentina and France’s Benoît Paire.
