However, despite those numbers, Struff did not have a great outing while playing at the Grand Slams. He played in the main round of two major events and on both occasions, he was knocked out after losing in the first round.

Interestingly, Struff just never had a great time while playing at the Grand Slams. His best outing in any major competition came in the French Open where on two occasions, his journey lasted till the fourth round.
