A look back at Ruud-Rune's feud at 2022 Roland Garros ahead of Round Two in 2023 Quarter-Finals
ATPWednesday, 07 June 2023 at 00:00
The
quarterfinals of the 2023 French Open will see a rematch between Casper Ruud
and Holger Rune from Roland Garros 2022.
There are
two spots remaining in the semifinals of Roland Garros for the players in the
bottom half of the draw. The 4th seed Casper Ruud and the 6th seed Holger Rune
have lived up to their favoritism in each of their matches leading up to the
quarterfinals, setting the stage for a rematch of their encounter in the 2022
French Open.

On that
occasion, a dramatic duel unfolded from the beginning, with intense exchanges
that ended in victory for Ruud in four sets. With emotions running high, the
Norwegian secured a crucial break against Rune, who expressed his frustration
by shouting at his mother to leave the stadium.
During the
match point of their encounter, Rune requested a review and disagreed with the
umpire's decision. He then proceeded to give a cold handshake at the net to
Ruud, who displayed a disapproving gesture without appearing too impressed.
Following the controversy, the Danish player accused his opponent of shouting
points in his face.
“He just
goes straight to me and shouts 'JAAAA' straight up in my face. You can cheer on
the court all you want. But that's such a bad style. Have a little respect,” Rune
said.

- Great article!!
AceOfBase31-08-2026 - Snorting hard drugs is not an "accident" nor a "mistake". That is a Choice.
mandoist28-08-2026 - No... athletes retire and that's it. No 'giftng' Wildcards -- QUALIFY LIKE EVERYONE ELSE NOT RANKED HIGH ENOUGH or stay home and cherish yourselves in the mirrors all over your houses!. This shitshow needs to be stopped... the "Look At Me" nonsense has gone on far too long.mandoist28-08-2026
- Great article! I began cheering for the “real” doubles specialists at the beginning but once they all lost their respective matches I really didn’t care who actually won the whole tournament. I liked the last four teams in the semifinals and would have enjoyed seeing any of them win the trophy! Not sure it really feels like a TRUE Grand Slam win however (and I know history will say it is!). Happy for Muchova/Mensik. Karolina is now a Grand Slam winner.DaveyWavey27-08-2026
- …and Foseca ;)DaveyWavey25-08-2026
- All the men dropping like flies. Something’s gotta be done with the tournament calendar or many more players will be on the sidelines in the near future. Surprised Carlos is back as soon as he is. Get well soon Sinner, Draper, Fokina, Rune, etc. etc. etc……DaveyWavey25-08-2026
- I want Pegula to surprise as a one-slam wonder winning in New York. She would then jump over the other three ladies for a number one ranking! I’d put my money on the two American girlies, Jessica and Coco to win in New York. Rybakina cannot seem to perform under this kind of pressure and Sabalenka appears in an anger fog ATM.DaveyWavey24-08-2026
- Well said, Andy. I got sick of Nick carrying on and on and on about Sinner. He absolutely refused to look at the facts. Now look at him. Karma is real!!!Rapunzel23-08-2026
- The fact that ANDY RODDICK of all people has become the voice of “reason” is interesting. He’s absolutely correct about Kyrgios too. He’s become a tennis influencer who is a total hypocrite and bully! I agree with RODDICK 100%DaveyWavey23-08-2026
- Great article! Thiem was similar to Del Potro in that both men had won Grand Slams and injured wrists each stole their careers away. Sad really.DaveyWavey22-08-2026
