PARIS : Teenage sensation Holger Rune outmuscled world number four and last-year's French Open finalist Stefanos Tsitsipas 7-5 3-6 6-3 6-4 on Monday to move into the quarter-finals with his biggest Grand Slam win to date.
The so-called ‘next generation’ of men’s tennis is in danger of being usurped by an even newer breed at this year’s French Open after Stefanos Tsitsipas was sent packing by Danish teenager Holger Rune.
Holger Rune became the first Danish man to reach the French Open quarter-finals on Monday when he shocked world number four and 2021 runner-up Stefanos Tsitsipas. Rune, just 19 and ranked 40, swept to a memorable 7-5, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 win on the back of 54 winners and will face Norway's eighth seed Casper Ruud for a place in the semi-finals. The last Danish man to reach the last-eight in any Slam was Jan Leschly at the 1967 US Championships.

There was some serious drama during the opening set of the pulsating fourth-round clash between Stefanos Tsitsipas and rising star Holger Rune at the French Open. The fourth seed from Greece first reacted furiously to finding the net with a key attempted forehand passing shot at 4-4, letting out a very angry response on Court Philippe-Chatrier. Ad/> But the temperature went up a notch moments later as Tsitsipas and Rune argued with each other, and the umpire, James Keothavong, over a dubious line call at another very tense moment.
