Aside from their head-to-head record, Tsitsipas has several notable achievements in his career. He became the top-ranked Greek player of all time and reached a career-high ranking of No. 3 in August 2021. He has also attained 11 wins against top-3 opponents, including victories against No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3-ranked players.
Tsitsipas has reached the semi-finals in six Grand Slam tournaments, with notable runs at the 2021 Roland Garros and 2023 Australian Open, where he reached the finals but lost to Djokovic both times. He has also won the Next Gen ATP Finals title in 2018 and the Nitto ATP Finals title in 2019, becoming the youngest champion since Hewitt in 2001.
In terms of titles, Tsitsipas has won 12 ATP Tour titles, including consecutive ATP Masters 1000 Monte-Carlo titles in 2021, 2022, and 2024. He achieved his first ATP 500 title at the 2025 Dubai tournament.
Tsitsipas holds a unique distinction of defeating the “Big 3” (Djokovic, Federer, and Nadal) before turning 21. His victories against these tennis legends came at the 2018 Toronto (against Djokovic in the third round), 2019 Australian Open (against Federer in the fourth round), and 2019 Madrid (against Nadal in the semifinals).
When it comes to playing on clay courts, Tsitsipas has an impressive record. Since the start of the 2021 season, he has reached the quarter-finals in 23 out of the 26 clay tournaments he has played. His only early exits were in the 2022 Roland Garros (lost to Rune in the Round of 16) and twice in Madrid (lost to Ruud in 2021 Round of 16 and Monteiro in the second round last year). Tsitsipas has a 9-3 record against German players on clay, including a 5-1 record against Zverev and a 1-2 record against Struff.
Jan-Lennard Struff, on the other hand, holds a world ranking of No. 79 and a career-high ranking of No. 21 in June 2023. He reached his third ATP Tour final at the 2023 Stuttgart tournament.
One of Struff’s notable achievements was reaching the final of the 2023 Madrid tournament as a lucky loser. He defeated Tsitsipas in the quarter-finals and Karatsev in the semi-finals after losing to Karatsev in the qualifying rounds. This made Struff the first lucky loser in ATP Masters 1000 history to reach the final.
Struff has also achieved significant results on home soil, with his first ATP Tour singles final appearance at the 2021 Munich tournament. He had a remarkable win over No. 2-ranked Medvedev in the first round of the 2021 Halle tournament. In 2024, he became the third oldest player to win his first ATP Tour title at the Munich tournament.
Throughout his career, Struff has achieved a personal-best record of 35 victories in 2019. This included his first appearance in the fourth round of a Grand Slam at the Roland Garros tournament.
In Wimbledon 2018, Struff made history by being the first player in the Open Era to come back from a two-set deficit in the first and second rounds. He defeated L. Mayer and Karlovic in these matches.
Although Struff struggled against top-50 players recently, having an eight-match losing streak, he aims to break that streak in his upcoming match against Tsitsipas. Notably, he achieved a victory against No. 16 Musetti at the ATP Masters 1000 Paris in October last year. Struff has a 15-23 record against top-20 players on clay, including wins over Tsitsipas and Humbert in Madrid in 2023 and 2024, respectively.
As Tsitsipas and Struff prepare to face each other, the stage is set for an exciting match between two talented tennis players with contrasting styles and achievements.
