Danish teenager Holger Rune has eliminated 2021 French Open runner-up Stefanos Tsitsipas to reach his first major quarter-final in his Roland Garros debut.

But organizers have made it the marquee night match on Day 10, scheduled to start at 8:45 p.m., after negotiating with rights-holding broadcasters to ensure all viewers in France can watch coverage of the match for free. The 12th-seeded Hurkacz was a semifinalist at Wimbledon last year. Then he needed to save three break points before serving out the biggest victory of his career. He had lost in the first round of the French Open in three consecutive appearances. Rune had a bit of trouble closing things out against Tsitsipas after going up 5-2 in the fourth set. The eighth-seeded Ruud is the first man from Norway to get to the round of eight at the French Open.

The brash Danish teenager caused a big upset by knocking out last year's runner-up at Roland Garros.

He believes that Alcaraz deserves it all and he is focused on himself: “I’m going at my own pace, at my own kind of way, and improving at my own time,” he said. He claimed his first ATP title in Munich this month as a wildcard and this result will propel him into the top 30. Between his recent 0-3 record against Alcaraz and a new defeat against Rune, Tsitsipas is now learning what it feels like to have a target on his back: “These kids are going to want to beat me badly because obviously they are chasing,” he said. He led 5-2 with two breaks, only to lose eight points in a row and find himself desperately trying to hold on to his lead. In the process, the bottom half of the men’s draw has swung wide open. Holger Rune caused the biggest upset of the men’s draw so far as the 19-year-old outplayed Stefanos Tsitsipas 7-5, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 to reach a grand slam quarter-final for the first time in his career on his French Open debut.

Rune, just 19 and ranked 40, swept to a memorable 7-5, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 win on the back of 54 winners against the 2021 runner-up from Greece.

Pegula downed Romania's Irina-Camelia Begu 4-6, 6-2, 6-3 to add a last-eight place in Paris to similar runs at the Australian Open in 2021 and 2022. Swiatek carved out a double break in the decider against her tiring opponent, whose injury contributed to her 46 unforced errors, and will face US 11th seed Jessica Pegula for a place in the semi-finals. "She played amazing tennis," said Swiatek. "I am proud to be still in the tournament." In the women's draw, world number one Swiatek survived a scare at the hands of injured Chinese teenager Zheng Qinwen, dropping the first set before going on to make the quarter-finals. "I was very nervous and I knew that if I went away from my tactics I would lose," said Rune, who won his maiden ATP title in Munich in the build-up to Paris. Rune, just 19 and ranked 40, swept to a memorable 7-5, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 win on the back of 54 winners against the 2021 runner-up from Greece.

Danish teenager Holger Rune completed arguably the biggest upset of the French Open so far as he beat fourth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas 7-5 3-6 6-3 6-4.

Tsitsipas, meanwhile, becomes the highest-ranked player -- and the first ranked inside the top eight in the world -- to exit the men's draw at this year's French Open. Alongside Spain's Carlos Alcaraz, Rune is the second teenager to reach the final eight of the men's singles draw at this year's Roland Garros, marking the first time two male teenagers have reached the quarterfinals of a major since 1994. "I have an unbelievable feeling right now," Rune said in his on-court interview after Monday's match.
