However, the 21-year-old star player staged his comeback in the second set of the game to level up the clash. Following the same, the young tennis sensation showed he is one of the most formidable players on the ATP tour after winning the third and final set of the game.

Holger Rune to face Stefanos Tsitsipas in pre-quarters of the Indian Wells 2025
However, the star player is now set to face the biggest challenge in Round 16. Rune is now set to face Stefanos Tsitsipas in the next round. Notably, the Greek star has been in sensational form, having recently emerged victorious in the Dubai Duty-Free Tennis Championships 2025.
The 27-year-old might pose a big threat to Rune in this game thanks to his sensational form after staging his comeback following his opening-round defeat in the Australian Open 2025.
“I won a Masters 1000 against Novak Djokovic in the final when I was 19 years old. I think that says it pretty well. But it's all about consistency. That is what I am trying to find. If a guy like Fonseca is playing unbelievable tennis, and I've been practising with him, if they can keep that level in every tournament, we'll see them at the top of the game. That's what we hope because they're interesting players,” Rune told ATPTour.com last month about the level he can reach.
