Jan-Lennard Struff def. Alexander Shevchenko 3-6, 7(7)-6(5), 6-4 — Austrian Open Kitzbühel 2026 R32

Match recap

Jan-Lennard Struff defeated Alexander Shevchenko 3-6, 7(7)-6(5), 6-4 in the R32 of the Austrian Open Kitzbühel 2026.

The match's only break point decided it. Alexander Shevchenko converted it in game 4 for 3-1, held all five of his service games and won 11 of 12 first-serve points, while sixth-seeded Jan-Lennard Struff took none of his five return games. On paper that reads stunner — ATP No. 100 over ATP No. 41, with the German arriving off a Wimbledon quarterfinal run, per Tennis TourTalk — but 10Bet's lean on Struff was a thin 55%, and The Drop Shot's model sided with Shevchenko at 51%. A week after a semifinal run in Gstaad, the Kazakh has won four of his last five and moves into the last 16 at the Kitzbühel Open.
