Holger Rune vs Francisco Cerundolo – Match Predictions
Contents
Over 36.5 Games
Rune made little work of Genaro Alberto Olivieri in the third round, an improvement on his 3-1 ousting of Christopher Eubanks. The Argentine was swatted in 26 games but his duel with Eubanks lasted close to three hours and saw 40 games. On the other hand, Cerundolo has had lengthy workouts in his three outings. He has fought for 103 games, averaging 35 games in this period, with his straight-sets victory over Yannick Hanfmann distorting this. With both Rune and Cerundolo giving a good account of their abilities, a tough battle is on the cards, one that should see Over 36.5 Games.
3-1 to Holger Rune
The last time Cerundolo and Rune met, it was the Argentine who triumphed. He is in good nick and will fancy his chances against the Danish sensation. However, it pales in comparison to Rune’s return to the court. In Monte Carlo, Munich and Rome, he proved he belongs amongst the best on the red surface and is the better player amongst the two. After four years he is getting the opportunity to bring his H2H record against Cerundolo to parity. The Argentine will not be an easy pushover and will not go down without a fight. Based on this, we expect a 3-1 triumph for Rune in this fourth-round encounter.
Holger Rune vs Francisco Cerundolo Preview
Our predictions for this match have now been established, let’s see how these players have fared so far in the French Open.
Holger Rune
With the withdrawal of Gael Monfils, Rune has only played two matches, showcasing his skills and defeating Olivieri and Eubanks convincingly. The talented Dane has had a smooth start to his French Open campaign, positioning himself for a promising second week. However, his main challenge lies in maintaining his physical condition throughout the tournament, as he has faced setbacks and cramping in physically demanding matches in the past. Rune will be seeking to build on his quarterfinal appearance in the previous year.
Francisco Cerundolo
Thanks to the French crowd’s support and a little help from Taylor Fritz, Cerundolo secured his place in the second week of the tournament, marking a significant achievement in his career. Despite facing challenges, he has registered impressive wins against top-10 players, including his recent victory over the American. He will be making his debut in the top 20 of the ATP rankings at the close of festivities at Roland Garros and will be looking to give Rune another tough outing.
