Rune reassures himself and reaches the quarter-finals

Le 28/09/2024 à 14h42 par Elio Valotto

Holger Rune seems to be gradually returning to quality tennis in Tokyo.

After a very difficult first round against a rather impressive Alejandro Tabilo (6-2, 5-7, 6-4), he clearly stepped up a notch on Saturday.

Against Yoshito Nishioka, the Dane played a very solid game, from first to last point (27 winners, 10 unforced errors).

Winning in just over an hour (6-2, 6-4), Rune enjoyed himself and will now challenge Nishikori for a place in the semi-finals.
