PARIS : Holger Rune is a man in a hurry to hit the Grand Slam big time and the Dane will resume his Scandinavian rivalry with Norwegian Casper Ruud at the French Open on Wednesday, with a spot in the semi-finals at stake.
There was a warmer handshake after Rune rallied to beat Ruud in the Italian Open semi-finals last month, his first victory over the 24-year-old in five meetings. "I lost last year. It's going to be the same scenario... Hopefully I can turn it around and make it different this year." Zverev will play surprise package Tomas Martin Etcheverry for a place in the semi-finals, the stage at which he suffered a serious ankle injury last year.
