Danish teenager Holger Rune pulled off another blockbuster upset in the fourth round of the French Open when he beat Stefanos Tsitsipas.
- French Open - French Open - French Open “I was struggling a lot the last couple of days in terms of finding my rhythm,” he said. The defeat left Tsitsipas with plenty to digest and his post-match match comments reflected a man with some regret. “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 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.

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.
