Jan-Lennard Struff

Insights

Late breakthrough, then a sharp peak

Struff’s Grand Slam career began in 2013, but his only quarterfinal came much later, at Wimbledon 2026 at age 36. Before that peak, his best results were three round-of-16 finishes and seven round-of-32 finishes.

Best Slam stretch came in 2018-2020

His strongest run of results is clustered between 2018 and 2020: he reached the round of 32 at Wimbledon and the US Open in 2018, the round of 16 at the French Open in 2019, and the round of 32 at the US Open in 2020.

Clay produced his deepest pre-2026 runs

Before the 2026 Wimbledon quarterfinal, his best Slam result on clay was the French Open round of 16 in 2019 and again in 2021. He also reached the French Open round of 32 in 2024, showing repeated stronger outcomes there than at most other majors.

Australian Open was his weakest major for years

He opened with four straight Australian Open exits in the first round or qualifying-equivalent round of 128 from 2014 through 2017, then stayed at round of 128 again in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023. His best Australian Open result is only the round of 64, reached in 2018 and 2024.

Career totals show a near-even but losing Slam record

Across 48 tournaments and 85 matches, Struff’s Grand Slam record is 37-48, a 44% win rate. That total places him at #295 of 2314 in the Open Era, and #11 of 78 among German men.
