In a remarkable turn of events, Jan-Lennard Struff has advanced to his first-ever Grand Slam quarterfinal at the age of 36. This achievement came about when Hubert Hurkacz was forced to retire from their match due to a left hip injury. Struff, currently ranked world No. 74, mounted an impressive comeback, overcoming a two-set deficit. He had just taken the lead in the deciding set, 4-2, when the former Wimbledon semifinalist decided he could no longer continue. The final score was 3-6, 6-7, 7-6, 7-5, 4-2 (retired).
