After his tournament victory in Munich, Jan-Lennard Struff also impressed in Madrid. The veteran is in the last 16 and could face an attractive opponent there.
Struff showed a convincing performance and used his second match point for success with a forehand after 1:37 hours. The veteran scored 34 direct winning strokes with only 18 slight errors against Humbert, who was number 13. The next opponent could now be Spain’s star Carlos Alcaraz.
On Sunday, Daniel Altmaier and Alexander Zverev also have the chance to advance.
