Weeks after Holger Rune attracted the ire of Italian fans in his win over local favourite Fabio Fognini in Rome, the Dane will again be cast in the role of villain as he prepares to take on veteran Frenchman Gael Monfils at the French Open.
"I just try to put on a fight every time I step out there on the court. Do my best to win the match. Stay focused. I feel like to do everything I can to win the match is more important than what's happening outside the court." "I'm playing full adrenaline, like honestly I asked the crowd to scream, and somehow I juice up," Monfils said after his marathon win on Tuesday.
In the women's draw, world number one Iga Swiatek's bid for back-to-back titles in Paris will be tested by American Claire Liu.
