German tennis star, Jan-Lennard Struff is currently running the Munich. But standing in his way is the mighty American, Taylor Fritz in the finals of the Bavarian International. He needs to topple the former world number 5 to get his hands on the first title of his career. Struff turned pro in 2009 and he hasn’t yet won a title in his singles career. Can the support of the home crowd push him to the other side of the finishing line this time around? Well, talking about support, his wife and son have played a huge role in his career.

One of the strongest pillars of support for this 33-year-old German, who will turn 34 in just four days from now, is his wife, Madeline Struff (32), a former professional player. According to several reports, the couple dated each other for a long time before finally tying the knot in 2018. They have a 4-year-old son, named Henri Struff who was born in 2019. The couple prefers to spend a private life far away from the spotlight of the media.
