Holger Roon knocked out by Casper Ruud in the quarters at Roland Garros

If a year ago Ruud defeated Roone at the same stage of the competition after 1-6, 6-4, 7-6(2), 6-3, this time the match was not much different either.

The first two sets clearly belonged to Ruud, who won them after solid play.

In the third set, Holger Roon returned, who got off to a great start, took a 3-0 lead and held on until the end.

But in the fourth set, the Dane could no longer maintain the same rhythm, and the Norwegian took full advantage to ensure his passage to the semifinals.

The game lasted two hours and 47 minutes.

The Roland Garros tournament takes place from May 28 to June 11, has a total prize pool of 49.6 million euros, and is the 127th tournament. Iga Sviatek and Rafael Nadal (14-time winner in Paris) became the champions of the title.
