Holger Rune continued his successful run in the semi-finals of the ATP 500 tournament in Basel: The 19-year-old Dane, who triumphed in Stockholm last week, beat the Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut 7: 6 (1st place) in an extremely competitive semi-final ) and 7:6 (6).
The spectators in Basel didn't see a single break throughout the match and towards the end of the second round they could already hope for an all-important third period. However, Rune fended off four set points in a row in the tie-break and scored his first match point after just over two hours of play.
In the final, Rune meets Felix Auger-Aliassime. The Canadian is also in excellent form and demonstrated this impressively on Saturday with a clear win over world number one Carlos Alcaraz .
