PARIS, May 30 — Teenager Holger Rune became the first Danish man to reach the French Open quarter-finals today when he shocked world number four and 2021 runner-up Stefanos Tsitsipas.

The last Danish man to reach the last-eight in any Slam was Jan Leschly at the 1967 US Championships. In a tense fourth set, Rune gave up a 5-2 lead and fought off three more break points in the 10th game before he secured victory when his Greek opponent hit long.“I told myself just stick to the plan and that gave me a confidence boost. It’s so great to still be here.

Rune carved out a key break for a 4-2 lead in the third set as he edged ahead once again in the match.
