French Open: 'Oooh!' - Tim Henman reacts as rising star Holger ... (Eurosport.co.uk)

Tim Henman has given his reaction after rising star Holger Rune took a very nasty tumble at the back of the court during his French Open second-round match.

“It was very unfortunate," Rune said. “Oooh! He seemed to be having a little bit of a chuckle about it," Henman said as he watched footage of the incident in the Eurosport Cube. But when he raced back and thumped into the advertising boards well behind the baseline, it looked to be a concerning sight for the prodigiously-talented Dane.

Is winning the junior tournament the key to future French Open ... (ESPN)

Twenty junior French Open champions made it into the main draw of this year's singles events, including Coco Gauff and Leylah Fernandez.

I think I was very lucky with the opportunities that I got, and I was able to take advantage of those opportunities. Of course, Munich [where last month he won his first title on the ATP Tour] was as big, I feel like, but still, you know, to be able to win a junior Slam is all juniors' goal. "You know, I think it helped the first few years when I came here to kind of get used to it and find my footing in the tour, in the WTA Tour. And then I think for me, I think the juniors definitely helped me and my tennis game to see where my level is at." "I think that's what really helped me a lot, playing juniors, finishing those tournaments and knowing what it's like to play long tournaments in both singles and doubles." I think this year everything is just coming in together."
