Meanwhile, Rune has later opened up about hitting a tweener against Tsitsipas after his win. He humorously stated that he would check his shot from his phone after the interview. The 21-year-old star player opened up about his tactical skills and pragmatic approach, which have helped him hit such magnificent shots in the game.

"I think it was an extremely good match from my side from start to finish. I stayed very committed on my game plan and mentally I was very good. I think that made the difference, how composed I could start. The tweener is the first thing I am going to check when I check my phone. That was better than I expected. I think my returning was very good and I focused on my court positioning because when you give Stef too much space on the forehand he is very dangerous. I had to really take control of the point," Rune said.
