Monte Carlo Masters: Ruud goes down to German qualifier Struff in pre-quarterfinals

The Hindu  

Jan-Lennard Struff reached the quarterfinals of the Monte Carlo Masters on Thursday with a 6-1, 7-6 win over fourth-seeded Casper Ruud as the German qualifier took another step in his comeback from an injury. “But it was tough to show skills because the wind was really hard and the court was slippery and it was tough to do something.” Top-ranked Novak Djokovic’s tense contest with Lorenzo Musetti was suspended by rain with the score 6-4, 5-7, 1-1 and Djokovic up 40-30 on his serve. Djokovic led 4-2 but could not hold his lead as Musetti’s mix of clever drop shots and deep groundstrokes put the 22-time Grand Slam winner on the back foot. “I think he served incredible in the first one and a half sets, and when I broke him the first time the momentum changed a little bit.” Sixth-seeded Holger Rune advanced to the quarterfinals without playing when Matteo Berrettini withdrew due to an injury.
