French Open 2022: Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas suffer shock exits at Roland Garros
Holger Rune's only two previous Grand Slam tournaments had ended in first-round exits
But Rune saved three break points to serve out the match and become the first Danish man to reach a quarter-final on the Paris clay - and the first since 1967 to make the last eight in any Grand Slam. With fellow 19-year-old Carlos Alcaraz also through, it ensured two teenagers are in the last eight of a Grand Slam for the first time since the 1994 French Open.
Tsitsipas, however, suggested an equipment change played a part in his below-par display, although he refused to elaborate when pressed on the subject by reporters. Hurkacz had not dropped serve all tournament but Ruud put paid to that statistic in his very first return game and went on to break on five further occasions.
