Rune Ousts Defending Champion Ruud and Reaches Semifinals in Barcelona

Holger Rune defeated the defending champion, Casper Ruud, with a score of 6-4, 6-2, securing his spot in the semifinals in Barcelona.

The Norwegian, who appeared completely off his game, committed 29 unforced errors, exiting the tournament in the round of 16 in Catalonia. A clay-court specialist, the 26-year-old player drops to 15th in the world rankings, struggling through a tough first half of the season despite reaching the final in Dallas.

Meanwhile, Rune comes off a withdrawal in Monte-Carlo (due to food poisoning) and a first-round exit in Miami against Opelka.

He will face Khachanov for a place in the final.
