Rune saves match point in beating De Minaur in exhibition tournament Open Markal Bourg-de-Péage

Holger Rune is back to swinging racquets as the Danish player took on Alex de Minaur in an exhibition event in France and he proved better beating him 5-7 7-6 6-4.

Winning is France is just something Holger Rune does well as he demonstrated it a couple of times already. He was brilliant at Roland Garros earlier this year and followed that up with some more amazing tennis later in the year winning the Paris Masters. He won another match on French soil as he won the Open Markal Bourg-de-Péage exhibition.

He played Alex de Minaur in the final and saved a match point en route to his 3-set victory. His semifinal match was against Alexander Bublik and he won that one too. He is now 21-2 in his last twenty-three matches and on an 8-match winning streak if you count these exhibition events. Truly impressive form from Rune indoors but Australia will be the final test.

Can he do it outdoors as well. Time will tell but he's certainly one of the most exciting playres to watch next year.
