The danish Holger Runeworld no. Alexander Shevchenko.
The two players met recently, in Brisbane (Australia), with opposite results: Rune won 6-4, 5-7 and 6-2.
But on the indoor track in Rotterdam, number 7 in the ATP rankings was only at his level in the second round. In the third, a winning return helped the Kazakh convert the only break point of the set and then secure the match on his serve.
Rune left his previous competition, Montpellier, due to injury in the semi-finals.
With his victory, the best of his career, Shevchenko guaranteed himself a place in the quarterfinals of the tournament, where he will face sixth-seeded Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov.
Italian Jannik Sinner is the first seed and will face Frenchman Gael Monfils in the round of 16.
