I feel more experienced playing best of five sets,” said Ruud, the first Norwegian in the last eight at Roland Garros. Hurkacz peppered the court with winners and he was rewarded with a break for 4-2 and held throughout to reduce the arrears. A fine backhand winner down the line gave him the break and a 2-0 lead in the second set, which was another easy affair for Ruud as Hurkacz still had to find his range on serve.

Casper Ruud progressed to the quarter-finals of the French Open after fending off a late comeback from Polands Hubert Hurkacz.

I was able to make him play a lot of points and was able to run around my forehand and control many points. "Of course, he has a dangerous serve, and the goal today was to try and get many returns back. I wasn't able to play in Australia so Roland Garros was a big goal for me, especially this year."

Both players have made the quarterfinals of the French Open for the first time in their careers. The Dane caused Tsitsipas a lot of problems with his angled crosscourt forehand, which set him up nicely to finish points at the net. Rune is a bundle of energy and plays an aggressive brand of tennis. Rune failed to take break point opportunities early in the second and was made to pay as Tsitsipas broke him and served out the set. He has found the perfect mix of aggression and caution, and is a handful for any opponent on clay. A straight-sets victory over Emil Ruusuvuori in the second round set up a Round of 32 clash with Lorenzo Sonego. Ruud was trailing by two sets to one against the Italian, but held his nerve to win it in five.
