In the quarterfinals of the 2022 Swiss Indoors on Friday, qualifier Arthur Rinderknech will take on world No. 25 Holger Rune.
Rune recently won the Stockholm Open and was fresh off of that victory when she landed in Basel. Here, he won against Alex de Minaur in the opening round before facing Ugo Humbert. In the opening set, both players made solid starts, but Humbert was the first to falter when he was broken in the ninth game. Rune easily served out the match to win it in one set. At the start of the second set, Rune secured an early break to take a 2-0 lead. He won three more games straight to increase his advantage to 5-1 following a hold of serve by his opponent. The adolescent finished the game quickly, winning 6-4, 6-2.
The 2014 US Open champion Marin Cilic was Arthur Rinderknech’s first-round opponent, and he won in three sets to move on. In the second round, the Frenchman faced up against Alex Molcan. In the first set, the two players were initially consistent on serve, but Rinderknech lifted his level and won four straight games to take the set. In the second set, he was the first to go up a break, but Molcan came back to serve to tie the score at 2-2. In the seventh game, Rinderknech obtained a second serve break to take a 4-3 lead. He served out the match to complete a 6-2, 6-4 triumph after a few more games.
