The 2022 Stockholm Open quarterfinal matchup pits second seed Cameron Norrie against World No. 27 Holger Rune on Friday.
After receiving a bye in the first round, Norrie faced Aslan Karatsev in the following round. In the match’s opening game, he was able to secure a serve break. The World No. 14 answered by winning the next four games in a row to take the next break and go on to win the match 6-7 (8), 6-3, 6-4 in three hours. The Russian was the first to go up a break in the final set to lead 4-2.
After defeating Thiago Monteiro, Holger Rune will face Cristian Garin in Stockholm’s second round, who advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2022 Wimbledon. The kid won a break of serve in the opening set to go up 3-2, but he was unable to win the set by himself. Following Garin’s comeback break to square the match, the set quickly entered a tie-break. To win it, the young Dane held off the challenge from his rival. Rune won the match 7-6 (2), 6-1 in the second set, which was simpler. Rune dropped just one game in the second set.
