French Open: More play, less drama keeps Holger Rune happy

Hindustan Times  

“I mean, obviously, there was a lot of drama last year,” Holger Rune smiled, adding, “Hopefully we can make less drama this year.” The Dane and drama have seldom been too far. Or wind back to last year’s French Open quarter-final, when the teenager stood arguing with the umpire on a line call off a winner on match point from Casper Ruud and then walked up for a cold handshake minus eye contact while Ruud shook his head. The indoor Paris ATP 1000 trophy last November, beating Novak Djokovic in the final after getting past four top 10 players, gave Rune his first Masters title. That match crossed Rune’s mind while facing another match tiebreaker with Cerundolo on Monday, only he came out a 10-7 winner in his first five-set encounter this time.
