Holger Rune

Danish teenager Holger Rune pulled off another blockbuster upset in the fourth round of the French Open when he beat Stefanos Tsitsipas.

- French Open - French Open - French Open “I was struggling a lot the last couple of days in terms of finding my rhythm,” he said. The defeat left Tsitsipas with plenty to digest and his post-match match comments reflected a man with some regret. “I get so emotional when I talk about family and coaches, but we are still in the quarter-finals, so we haven’t won the tournament yet,” Rune said.

The brash Danish teenager caused a big upset by knocking out last year's runner-up at Roland Garros.

He claimed his first ATP title in Munich this month as a wildcard and this result will propel him into the top 30. Between his recent 0-3 record against Alcaraz and a new defeat against Rune, Tsitsipas is now learning what it feels like to have a target on his back: “These kids are going to want to beat me badly because obviously they are chasing,” he said.
