French Open - 'It's a big lie' - Casper Ruud slams Holger Rune over shout claim as explosive row grows
Casper Ruud has accused Holger Rune of lying in a Eurosport Norway interview as their French Open war of words intensified following a testy Roland-Garros quarter-final on Wednesday. Rune claimed that Ruud shouted in his face after claiming a 6-1 4-6 7-6 (7-2) 6-3 win at the quarter-final stage of the French Open. However, the Norwegian — set to take on Marin Cilic in the semi-finals on Friday — has disputed that, saying it was a lie.
