The 31-year-old combined clever footwork with big hitting to pull off the win, winning the last four games of the decisive set. He served ten aces and took four of his seven break point chances, winning 71 per cent of his first serves along the way.

“I’m very happy with the way I played today. It was a very tough match, Cam Norrie is a very tough competitor,” said Struff afterwards. “I managed to get some energy from the bench and my team pushed me so much.”
