Struff Loses Second-Round Match in Mallorca, Falls Short of Quarterfinals

Struff’s defeat to Nuno Borges ends his Mallorca tune-up and reduces his grass-court match time before Wimbledon

Steht im Achtelfinale von Mallorca: Jan-Lennard Struff
Aus für Jan-Lennard Struff

Overview

  • Struff won his opening match in Mallorca but then lost 4-6, 5-7 to Portugal’s Nuno Borges in the second round, eliminating him from the tournament.
  • His first-round victory over Spain’s Martín Landaluce came in three sets, marking Struff’s first time past round one at Mallorca.
  • Struff entered the Mallorca main draw on a wildcard and was playing the event for the first time since 2022.
  • Matches were played in hot conditions above 30°C, a factor reporters said made recovery and play tougher for the 36-year-old.
  • Fellow German Yannik Hanfmann also exited in the second round, and Mallorca remains the last grass-court competitive tune-up ahead of Wimbledon starting next week.
