Result

A serving epic for the ages, and at 36, Jan-Lennard Struff outlasted it. Four of the five sets went to tiebreaks — the match was suspended by darkness Wednesday at two sets apiece and finished Thursday on Court 12 — before Struff edged the No. 28 seed 4-6 7-6(6) 7-6(5) 6-7(6) 7-6(7). The numbers are absurd: 86 aces combined (45 from Struff, 41 from Nakashima), 100 winners for the German, and just three service breaks all match across 405 points, of which Nakashima actually won more (204 to 201). Struff moves into a third round he has never won here in eleven prior visits — Daniil Medvedev awaits.
