PARIS :Teenage sensation Holger Rune outmuscled world number four and last-year's French Open finalist Stefanos Tsitsipas 7-5 3-6 6-3 6-4 on Monday to move into the quarter-finals with his biggest Grand Slam win to date.
"I have an unbelievable feeling. I was so nervous in the end," said a beaming Rune, playing in his first French Open."I was very nervous. I told myself to keep at it and play my plan. I mean it is so great to still be here." Rune, a former junior champion in Paris at the age of 16, broke twice, clinching the set with a disputed line call that went in his favour.Tsitsipas did not lose his composure though, saved three consecutive break points in the first game of the second set and powered back to level the match.
He then raced to a 5-2 lead with a scorching backhand down the line but showed nerves in the end as Tsitsipas fought back to 5-4 and even earned break points.
