Jan-Lennard Struff earned his first victory of the 2020 ATP Tour season and lifted Germany to an early lead against Greece by beating Michail Pervolarakis 6-4, 6-1 on Sunday night in Brisbane.
Struff overcame a slow start in which he fell behind a break at 2-3. But the 29-year-old calmed his nerves and broke twice in the opening set.

It was all Struff from there as the German won nearly 70 per cent (37/55) of his service points for the match.
Struff finished 2019 as the German No. 2 for the first time and at a career-high year-end FedEx ATP Ranking of No. 35. The 6'5” right-hander fell to Aussie Nick Kyrgios in his opening match.
Pervolarakis, who went 7-8 on the ATP Challenger Tour last season, was seeking Greece's first win of the ATP Cup. World No. 6 Stefanos Tsitsipas will try to put Greece on the board next against World No. 7 Alexander Zverev, who is also seeking his first win of 2020.
