The 34-year-old Spaniard stayed away from the powerful forehand of Struff, and struck first to grab the opener by 6-4. It was an extremely tight encounter, with just two points separating the players throughout the match.<\/p><p>Struff was creating inroads on the Carreno Busta serve, but failed to convert his chances. The German veteran managed just one break point conversion throughout the duration of the tussle, which set him up for disaster. Refusing to relent, he pushed the second set to a tiebreaker. Despite taking a healthy 6-1 lead, Struff squandered all his set points as well as the match.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Carreno Busta's INCREDIBLE tiebreak comeback | Spain v Germany | Highlights | 2025 Davis Cup Final 8\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bIKdVqFxGmo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>In the end, Carreno Busta needed 1 hour and 44 minutes to complete a tense 6-4 7-6(6) win and give Spain the advantage.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Granollers\/Martinez Hold Their Nerve After Alexander Zverev Pulls Germany Back Into the Contest<\/h2><p>In the second men&rsquo;s singles fixture, World No. 3 and three-time Grand Slam finalist Alexander Zverev edged past Jaume Munar in two tiebreak sets to equalize for his country.

I specialise in tennis and football writing at The Playoffs News, and I have prior experience working at EssentiallySports and Sportskeeda. Born and raised in Bengaluru, India, sport was my safe space right from my childhood. After trying my hand at multiple sports and representing my educational institutions in cricket, badminton and table tennis, I found sports media to be my calling. My message to the readers is not to be shy to express themselves - regardless of whether it is playing, talking or writing about sport. And if you\u2019re a fan of Roger Federer, Lionel Messi and\/or Stephen Curry - I\u2019m your guy. \u00a0","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sankalphk","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/sankalp-hk-660254215"],"url":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/author\/sankalp\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/643358"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/34"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=643358"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/643358\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":643363,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/643358\/revisions\/643363"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/643361"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=643358"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=643358"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=643358"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
