The German Jan-Lennard Struff had previously been on duty against Albert Ramos-Vinolas.For the 27-year-old Warsteiner, however, the Spaniard on the other side was too big.After Struff’s win in the previous round, in which he defeated US open finalist Kevin Anderson, the German could not catch up to his lead and was beaten 6:7 (4) and 4:6.

Wimbledon finalist Marin Cilic did better.In a one-sided game the Croatian dominated with his strong forehand and won 7-6 (1) and 6-4 against the American Steve Johnson.
