One year after their exceptional final, won by the Dane, Holger Rune and Novak Djokovic will meet again at the Masters 1000 in Paris this year. This time, it will be in the quarter-finals, after Rune won (6-3, 6-3) his 8th on Thursday evening against the German Daniel Altmaier, with authority and in 1h20 of play.
Although he started well, Daniel Altmaier, 54th in the world, broke down, including mentally at the end of the match, accumulating unforced errors (13, compared to only 3 for Rune) and appearing at the end of his strength, which allowed to Rune to scroll through the games.
On Friday, the Dane will try to get rid of Novak Djokovic, six times winner of the Parisian event but who was scared this Thursday in the round of 16, against the Dutchman Tallon Griekspoor (4-6, 7-6 [2], 6-4). The task will still be tough for the Dane, 20 years old and 7th in the world, even if his very serious performance this Thursday evening, especially at the end of the match, may give hope for a new Homeric duel.
