Jan-Lennard Struff is into the final of the ATP event in Brussels. The 36-year-old German beat top seed and world number ten Arthur Fils of France 6-4, 6-7 (7-9), 7-6 (7-5) in the semi-finals. Struff was a break down twice in the third set, and according to Sport1 Fils served for the match at 5-4. Struff broke back and converted his first match point in the tiebreak. "That was an incredible match, I'm very happy," he told dpa.

In Sunday's final Struff meets Dutchman Tallon Griekspoor, who beat Francisco Cerúndolo 2-6, 6-3, 7-6 (4). Struff has lost all three previous meetings. According to Sport1 it is his fifth final on the ATP Tour; his only title so far came in Munich in April 2024. "It's always something special to play a final," Struff said.

Reaching the final lifts Struff to at least 47th in the rankings, according to Sport1, and a title would take him to 43rd. His career high is 21st.
