"We are both big fighters" - Tsitsipas touts clash with Rune after reaching Stockholm Open final

Stefanos Tsitsipas will take on Holger Rune in the Stockholm Open final later this day and he is excited about the encounter.

Tsitsipas is eager to face Rune because the Danish player cut his Roland Garros run shorter earlier this year. It was a match where Tsitsipas was completely outplayed giving him quite a bit of pause due to his clay prowess.

On takign on Rune, Tsisipas said:

“We are both big fighters. I’m going to try to give my best out there on the court. Holger is someone that has been developing and doing well recently. We have played plenty of times against each other, more on the practice court, and I’m looking forward to that battle.”

Stockholm is a pretty important place for Tsitsipas who won a trophy here in 2018 and has nothing but great memories of the event:

“I’ve created some good memories here. 2018 was the year that I got my first title here. Of course, I love good things in the back of my head. I’ve had some good interactions with the crowd, the people here are lovely, and I’m enjoying the Swedish hospitality.”
