After defeating the defending champion Ruud (6-4, 6-2), Rune triumphed over Khachanov in the Barcelona semifinals. He has now secured his first final in the tournament.
The Dane first converted all his break points (2/2) and hit 10 winners to claim the opening set. Later, the 21-year-old player found his rhythm, significantly reducing his unforced errors: just 1 compared to 10 in the previous set.
