Rune exacts revenge on Cazaux to reach the quarters in Paris

Le 31/10/2024 à 22h27 par Guillem Casulleras Punsa

Holger Rune had the nerve to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Rolex Paris Masters on Thursday.

After losing the first set, the Dane had to fight off Arthur Cazaux and all the French fans on Court 1 to turn the tables and win in two hours (3-6, 6-3, 6-4).

Winner of the event in 2022, Rune thus takes his revenge on Cazaux, who beat him in the 3rd round of the Australian Open earlier this year.

At just 21 years of age, the current world No. 13 will play in the quarter-finals of the tournament for the third time (2022, 2023, 2024). He will face Australia's Alex De Minaur on Friday.
