Carlos Alcaraz and Holger Rune crashed out of the Toronto Masters early, but both rivals had a spectacular match outside the Canadian competition.
Both players had to play with a special connection: several strings were missing and they could only hit the middle part of the racket.
The tiebreaker was played to 10 and Roone won.
At the Toronto Masters, Rooney suffered a first-round loss to Marcos Giron, while Alcaraz lost his quarterfinal match to Tommy Paul.
Carlos and Holger have met three times on the ATP circuit, and the Iberian leads 2-1.
2023, Wimbledon: 7-6(3), 6-4, 6-4 for Alcaraz
2022, Paris Masters: 6-3, 6-6 (3-1) over Roone (Alcaraz withdrew)
2021, Next Generation: 4-3, 4-2, 4-0 for Alcaraz.
