"I Can Beat Anyone": Teenager Holger Rune Declares After Making French Open Quarter-Finals Defeating Stefanos Tsitsipas
Teenager Holger Rune became the first Danish man to reach the French Open quarter-finals on Monday when he shocked world number four Stefanos Tsitsipas and declared: "I can beat anyone". Rune, just 19 and ranked 40, swept to a memorable 7-5, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 win over the 2021 runner-up 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 at any Slam was Jan Leschly in the 1967 US Championships. "I have strong belief in myself that if I really focus and play my tennis, I can beat almost everybody on tour," said Rune.
