Stefanos Tsitsipas vs. Holger Rune: Match Preview
With zero wins in any major tournaments this year, Stefanos Tsitsipas was a surprising entry into the list of participants for the ATP Finals after his disastrous season.

Previously, at the Bercy Open, the Greek ace lost the semi-finals to Grigor Dimitrov following a thrilling battle over three sets.
Holger Rune, on the other hand, lost the opening round to World No. 1 Novak Djokovic. The Danish pro is in great form, as he thoroughly challenged Djokovic, only to lose in the final few games.
The 20-year-old suffered a 6-7, 7-6, 3-6 loss at the hands of the Bercy Open winner, Novak Djokovic. Prior to this, the Danish top seed faced Djokovic in the quarterfinals at the Paris Masters, where he lost the match. The 20-year-old failed to defend his title and lost it to the Serb himself.

Eighth seed Holger Rune leads Stefanos Tsitsipas 2-0 in the duo’s head-to-head. The players will meet on court for the first time this season since their last match in the finals of the Stockholm Open last year, where Rune beat Tsitsipas in straight sets to claim the title.
Prior to that, the duo locked horns in the Round of 16 on clay at the French Open last year. Rune had emerged victorious in the face-off, where he won the match over four sets to register a 7-5, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 victory.
