Holger Rune had a strong start to his French Open campaign, positioning himself for a promising second week. Due to Gael Monfils’ withdrawal, he only played two matches, one of which lasted only 120 minutes and was won convincingly by Argentine Genaro Alberto Olivieri in the third round. A year after making his first-ever slam quarterfinal appearance at the 2022 French Open, the current Paris Masters champion aims for his second slam quarterfinal appearance. Last year, he made his debut in this tournament, defeating Stefanos Tsitsipas in four sets in the round of 16, before falling to eventual runner-up Casper Ruud in four sets in the quarterfinal.
Francisco Cerundolo advanced to the second week of the French Open with a minor boost from the French crowd and some help from Taylor Fritz, marking his most notable achievement at this level. While Fritz won the first set and had favourable positions in the other three, he failed to capitalise on these opportunities, giving the Argentine a memorable victory. The reigning ATP Bastad champion possesses a top-10 forehand, which has consistently helped him compete against top-tier opponents. He has a 6-7 w/l record against top-10 players and has won four of his last five such matches, including a recent victory over Taylor Fritz at the French Open.
