Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece will try to go into the championship rounds of the Terra Wortmann Open when he takes on Jan-Lennard Struff of Germany on Thursday. Tsitsipas, the No.6 seed in the tourney, outpointed German Henri Squire 7-6(7) 7-6(2) to arrange a second-round matchup with another hometown bet in Struff. Tsitsipas won 84 percent of the first serves and 88 percent of the second serves to outgun Squire in a highly entertaining matchup. Meanwhile, Struff is coming off a grueling three-set battle with Luciano Darderi of Italy 6-7(2) 7-5 7-6(10). The German landed 21 aces and won 90 percent of the first serves to get past the Italian in one of the most nerve-wracking matches of the tournament. Struff and Tsitsipas had faced each other eight times already with the Greek enjoying a 5-3 head-to-head series lead.
