Weeks after Holger Rune attracted the ire of Italian fans in his win over local favourite Fabio Fognini in Rome, the Dane will again be cast in the role of villain as he prepares to take on veteran Frenchman Gael Monfils at the French Open.
Day 5 of the French Open is upon us and the action ahead is mouthwatering. The first week has already seen Daniil Medvedev dumped out of the tournament by world No. 172 Thiago Seyboth Wild, while local favourite Caroline Garcia exited the competition on Wednesday, falling to Anna Blinkova in three sets.
Mats Wilander believes Casper Ruud and Holger Rune could benefit from the French Open draw opening up following Daniil Medvedev’s shock exit, but he warned: “Literally anyone could go through”. Second seed Medvedev was one of the favourites to take the men’s singles title at Roland-Garros this year but suffered a stunning first-round defeat to world No. 172 Thiago Seyboth Wild on Tuesday.
Holger Rune believes Rafael Nadal’s absence from the French Open has completely opened up the Grand Slam. The 14-time winner at Roland-Garros pulled out with a hip injury and the Dane highlighted a number of big names that are waiting to claim victory in Paris. Ad He said: “I think for sure it's more open as Rafa is not here, but again, we still have Novak [Djokovic], we have [Carlos] Alcaraz.
Home favourite Gael Monfils roared back from 0-4, 30-40 in the deciding set to reach the second round of the French Open with a stunning late-night win over Argentina’s Sebastian Baez. Monfils, 36, was on the brink of an early exit as he stared down a break point on his own serve in the fifth set for 0-5, but saved it before mounting an epic comeback to pull level at 4-4 on Court Philippe-Chatrier. Ad But the drama was not over.
An exhausted Gael Monfils said his epic five-set comeback victory over Sebastian Baez at the French Open on Tuesday was one of the greatest matches of his career.
Carlos Alcaraz and Holger Rune's rivalry is needed in tennis, says John McEnroe as the young pair both made it into round two of the French Open. The two 20-year-olds have only met once on the ATP Tour, at the Paris Masters last year, a match that saw Alcaraz retire injured. Ad Despite their lack of head-to-heads to date, they have separately emerged as the two players judged by many to be the sport's next great rivalry, in place of those created by Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.
Holger Rune said he would “do anything to win Roland-Garros” after overcoming a steely Christopher Eubanks 6-4 3-6 7-6(2) 6-2 to advance to the second round of the French Open. Rune had to dig deep in the opening three sets but the fourth was a much more straightforward affair as the Dane wrapped up the victory in two hours and 50 minutes. Ad The sixth seed will meet Gael Monfils or Sebastian Baez in the second round, hoping to land his first major title in Paris.
