Stefanos Tsitsipas will not reach back-to-back Roland Garros finals after being upset by young rising star Holger Rune in the fourth round.
Drawn in the opposite half to tournament favourites Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal, the Greek was tipped as the man to book his spot in the final from his half. But Rune, 19, had other ideas as the young Dane stepped up to the plate to overcome Tsitsipas 7-5, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4. When Marion Bartoli asked how he felt, the teen responded: “I have an unbelievable feeling right now. “I was so nervous at the end. “But the crowd was amazing for me the whole match, the whole tournament. “I’m so grateful so happy to play on this court. “You guys are amazing!” This was only a sixth Slam main draw match of Rune’s young career, making his Roland Garros debut and just his third Major appearance. In fact, Rune had not won a Slam main draw match prior to arriving in Paris.Social >> Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & YouTube🎾 Read >> World’s best tennis magazine🎾 Watch >> How to enjoy ATP/WTA/Slam tennis on TV🎾 Shop >> Lowest price tennis gear from our trusted partner
