Struff and de Minaur had already met at the Masters in Miami and at the French Open this season – each with a better end for the Australian. He will now face the Italian Flavio Cobolli in the round of 16.
The last remaining German in the tournament is co-favorite Alexander Zverev. The world number three from Hamburg, who is ranked number one in Vienna, will face the winner of the US duel between Alex Michelsen and Marcos Giron in the round of the best 16 on Wednesday evening.
