Tsitsipas was making his sixth appearance in Paris, having lost to Novak Djokovic in five sets in the final last year. Rune will look to continue his dream run when he plays Casper Ruud in the quarter-finals. “I get so emotional when I talk about family and coaches, but we are still in the quarter-finals, so we haven’t won the tournament yet,” Rune said. The 19-year-old then gained an early break in the fourth set, before he served out the match at the second time of asking. Tsitsipas maintained his composure, though, and stuck to his game plan. “I was so nervous at the end but the crowd was amazing for me the whole match, the whole tournament.

The brash Danish teenager caused a big upset by knocking out last year's runner-up at Roland Garros.

He believes that Alcaraz deserves it all and he is focused on himself: “I’m going at my own pace, at my own kind of way, and improving at my own time,” he said. He claimed his first ATP title in Munich this month as a wildcard and this result will propel him into the top 30. Between his recent 0-3 record against Alcaraz and a new defeat against Rune, Tsitsipas is now learning what it feels like to have a target on his back: “These kids are going to want to beat me badly because obviously they are chasing,” he said. He led 5-2 with two breaks, only to lose eight points in a row and find himself desperately trying to hold on to his lead. In the process, the bottom half of the men’s draw has swung wide open. Holger Rune caused the biggest upset of the men’s draw so far as the 19-year-old outplayed Stefanos Tsitsipas 7-5, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 to reach a grand slam quarter-final for the first time in his career on his French Open debut.

Danish teenager Holger Rune completed arguably the biggest upset of the French Open so far as he beat fourth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas 7-5 3-6 6-3 6-4.

Alongside Spain's Carlos Alcaraz, Rune is the second teenager to reach the final eight of the men's singles draw at this year's Roland Garros, marking the first time two male teenagers have reached the quarterfinals of a major since 1994. "I have an unbelievable feeling right now," Rune said in his on-court interview after Monday's match.
