Roland Garros R16: [6] Holger Rune vs. [23] Francisco Cerúndolo

[abmk]

Rune breaks with a forceful deep return forcing the error.
will serve for the match.

 

[Terenigma]

You have to give credit to Rune there, Cerundolo blew one chance sure but Rune's hold was a game-changer. Switched the entire momentum and breaks and now serves for the match. That's tennis for ya!

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Credit Rune for being tougher down the stretch here.

 

[Pheasant]

I think that Rune will pull this off. Cerundolo has blown far too many break point opportunities.

Update: Rune just broke him!!

 

[SteffiGoat]

Cerundolo blew it in the previous game

 

[UnforcedTerror]

Cerundolo what are you doing you mug. I am so ****in disgusted right now

 

[Arak]

Cerundolo giving away the match. Unbelievable.

 

[Kralingen]

That miss on BP comes back to haunt him, you just knew it would.

 

[guga_fan]

Rune certainly started playing better after the 3 break points, but Cerundolo should have made him pay, and just an awful service game after not breaking...

 

[The Guru]

Wow what a turnaround. That inside out FH 30-40 is gonna haunt Cerundolo if Rune closes this out.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Holger Possum Rune is going to win.

 

[Benf15harp]

A mug will be a mug

 

[bluetrain4]

Rune doesn't deserve this win. Dissapoint

But if Rune doesn't deserve it, Cerundolo certainly doesn't after these last two games.

 

[Terenigma]

That miss on BP comes back to haunt him, you just knew it would.

It's been a week of very poor shot choices on BP/MP this week. Many players have it physically, very few have it mentally.

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

I think that Rune will pull this off. Cerundolo has blown far too many break point opportunities.

Update: Rune just broke him!!

6/19 for the match on BP opportunities.

 

[SteffiGoat]

Oh no...

 

[Rattie]

Bloody hell, what a rally!

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Rune in the zone now!

 

[ojo rojo]

But if Rune doesn't deserve it, Cerundolo certainly doesn't after these last two games.

At least he didn't cheat. In fact the opposite on Rune serve that was called out

 

[UnforcedTerror]

How is this even possible

You had it on racquet ffs

 

[Deleted member 758560]

craziness

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Rune is also smartly staying away from Cerundolo's FH for the most part.

 

[The Fedfather]

I am hurting for Cerundolo here. He has the game to come through for sure

 

[bluetrain4]

At least he didn't cheat

Right. My bad. I forgot about that because I wasn't watching the match when it happened and just heard reference to it after the fact.

 

[abmk]

Rune gettign time violation warning.

 

[The Guru]

It's working this time but Rune is developing a bad habit of pushing in big moments. That's not gonna be a good for him long term and it could cost him here.

 

[Snafu23]

not over

 

[Airspun]

Cheaters never win, except today.

 

[SteffiGoat]

BP Cerundolo...Can he make it count??

 

[The Fedfather]

Hell yes! Vamos Ceru

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

BP cerundolo!

 

[theSHAMOO]

many of runes wins look like this. If he was a likeable character, I would be happy fan for him, instead, I just end up more disgusted that the brat pulls these wins out.

 

[abmk]

Rune pushing and getting punished.
Cerundolo with a break back point.

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

BP? Nah....it can't happen, can it?

 

[Airspun]

Casper is laughing all the way to the QF

 

[guga_fan]

It's working this time but Rune is developing a bad habit of pushing in big moments. That's not gonna be a good for him long term and it could cost him here.

If he gets to the point of having Djokovic-like consitency and stamina, it might actually help him sometimes. His movement and technique are definitely good enough.

 

[SteffiGoat]

Cerundolo breaks !!!

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Wow! He breaks back! Lmao

 

[Pheasant]

Rune gets broken! This is insane!

 

[The Fedfather]

Deserved that through and through. Hopefully he holds

 

[The Guru]

Pays the price for his passivity. These decel misses on the BH from Rune are awful.

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

5-5......on we go!

 

[Airspun]

Only one winner today: RUUD ftw

 

[abmk]

Cerundolo breaks back with Rune BH UE into the net in a long rally.
the drama continues......

 

[ojo rojo]

Bamos !!

 

[tsamo]

Got to say, Cerundolo has kept his head so far, even when things did not go his way.

edit: Really hope I've not jinxed him right now.

Unless....

 

[Terenigma]

Are you serious right now? Oh man I swear every match I've watched this week has been choke central when trying to see out the match.

 

[FrankyRelax]

Hope I'm wrong tho

Yasssss

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

VAMOOOOOOOS

 

[Rattie]

I see Cerundolo winning this now.
