Overview
- Struff reached the Brussels final after a dramatic semifinal victory over top-seeded Arthur Fils on Saturday, winning 6-4, 6-7 (7-9), 7-6 (7-5) after saving multiple set points and closing the match in a deciding tiebreak.
- He lost the title match to Tallon Griekspoor by 6-4, 3-6, 4-6, leaving Struff without a second ATP singles crown.
- The result leaves Struff with career momentum and a rise in the rankings to at least world No. 47, with reports saying a tournament win would have lifted him to about No. 43.
- Griekspoor claimed his fourth career tour title and now leads the head-to-head versus Struff, while Struff recorded his fifth ATP final appearance after previously winning in Munich in April 2024.
- The Brussels run brought tangible rewards for Struff in prize money and ranking points, earning him roughly €110,000 in potential winner's payoffs for the champion and strengthening his late-career resurgence going into next season.
