Danish Rune avoids bump ‘in extremis’

the danish Holger Rune he avoided the bump that the Russian couldn’t stop in his time Daniel Medvedev and the italian Jannik Sinner, lower draw partners who seek to dominate Scandinavian tennis.

Rune will meet again in the quarterfinals of Roland Garros with his executioner of the previous edition, the Norwegian Casper Ruud. The game ended in a scuffle in the locker room as well. They are not friends, they tolerate each other, as they expressed in their recent rivalry in Rome, where the Dane defeated the tennis player from the academy for the first time in five matches. Rafael Nadal where he played the 2022 final.

Holger Rune20 years old and No. 6 in the world, suffered for four hours of specialization on Argentine land Francisco Cerundolo24 years old and nº 23, finalist in Lyon a few days before this Grand Slam.

He won the final supertiebreak runes, 7-6 (3), 3-6, 6-4, 1-6 and 7-6 (10-7). Nordic came back from 0-40 with 3-4 in the fifth set.

Pure misery with controversial moments. The chair umpire made a mistake at the point Rune returned after a double dribble. Cerúndolo got the ‘break’ in the third set. In the fourth, Rune asks the doctor for help, who gives him a pill.

An interesting meeting, which has nothing to do with that meeting of the two at the Manerbio Challenger, in 2019. Cerúndolo, then 299 in the world, prevailed 7-6 (4) and 6-0 against a Ruud 1,136 of the ATP.
