Overview
- Jan-Lennard Struff beat top-seeded Arthur Fils 6-4, 6-7 (7-9), 7-6 (7-5) in a tight Brussels semifinal that went to a deciding tiebreak.
- Struff will face unseeded Tallon Griekspoor in the final despite trailing 0-3 in their prior meetings, with those matches described as very close.
- The run guarantees Struff at least world No. 47 and a tournament victory would lift him to No. 43 while awarding roughly €110,000 in prize money.
- Struff served strongly throughout, saved multiple set points, twice recovered from break deficits in the final set, and closed the match after about 2 hours 22 minutes.
- The 36-year-old’s appearance in the Brussels final marks his fifth ATP-level final and continues a late-career surge that includes his lone ATP title in Munich in April 2024.
