Ruud Sends Rune Packing Again

For the second year in a row, Ruud found himself facing Denmark’s Holger Rune in the French Open quarterfinals. And for the second successive tournament, it was the Dane who was going home.

Fourth-seeded Ruud won 6-1, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 over #6 seed Rune. Ruud is now 5-1 against Rune in head to head meetings.

Thanks Holger! See you on the 🌱

Ruud served five aces, compared to one for Rune. He won 72% of his first service points and five of 13 break points. Rune was 1-for-7 on service breaks.

Rune looked to be out of gas following his five-set win over Francisco Cerundolo in the fourth round.

Zverev Back Where It Ended Last Year

It was during his 2022 French Open semifinal against Rafael Nadal that Zverev suffered a horrific season-ending ankle injury. It resulted in what Zverev describes as the most difficult year of his life.

Ruud vs Zverev Match History

The #22 seed bounced unseeded Cinderella story Tomas Martin Etcheverry of Argentine 6-4, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 to back to the semifinals at Roland Garros.

World #49 Etcheverry hadn’t dropped a set at Roland Garros coming into this match. But after they split the first two sets, Zverev roared back from 0-2 down to win five straight games and claim the third set.

During that set, the German player hit 12 winners and won 86% (12-of-14) net points.
