class=”sc-29f61514-0 icZBHN”>

Stricker lost 7:6 (7:4), 3:6, 3:6 to the Dutchman Botic van de Zandschulp, whom he defeated in straight sets in the first round at the same location a year ago. While the 28-year-old Dutchman, number 67 in the world, managed to achieve three breaks, the Swiss failed to achieve a service breakthrough.

The defeat meant Stricker missed the meeting with top seed Stefanos Tsitsipas. The left-hander from Grosshöchetten defeated him in the second round at the US Open. He only failed in the round of 16 in New York against the American Taylor Fritz.

Between the matches with Fritz and Van de Zandschulp, Stricker lost two singles in the Davis Cup and in Challenger tournaments. (SDA)
