Wimbledon: Struff knocks out Auger-Aliassime to set up Alcaraz clash

German Jan-Lennard Struff reached the third round of Wimbledon by edging out Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime, the No 25 seed, 3-6, 7-6 (9), 6-3, 6-4 at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London on Thursday.

It was some revenge for their meeting at the Australian Open earlier in the year, when Auger-Aliassime won in four sets.

Struff, ranked No 125, will play Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz, the second seed, next.

In the previous round of The Championships, the 35-year-old German beat Austrian qualifier Filip Misolic (6-2, 5-7, 6-3, 6-3).

Auger-Aliassime, ranked No 28, won against Australian James Duckworth (6-2, 3-6, 6-7 (2), 6-4, 6-4) in the previous round of The Championships.
