Match recap

Jan-Lennard Struff defeated Roman Andres Burruchaga 7(7)-6(4), 2-6, 6-3 in the R128 of the Cincinnati Open 2026.

The cleaner player lost. Burruchaga kept his error count to 37 against Struff's 52 and finished ahead on total points, 102 to 99, but the 41st-ranked German owned the shorter rallies, winning 14 of 22 at net behind 16 aces. Broken for 3-4 in the third, Struff broke straight back in game 8 for 5-3, then needed two match points after Burruchaga erased the first, 2 hours 23 minutes in. That the win came on a surface where Struff had gone 1-7 this season matters more than the margin; he had also taken their only prior meeting on record, on clay in 2024.
