My tactic was apparently the right one, but he is always difficult to play against since he never gives up and is very stable. I am very proud of myself, says Rune in his victory interview.

The Dane has for a long time been seen as one of tennis' big future names, not least after he beat Novak Djokovic in the Masters final in Paris 2022. Since then, Rune has however struggled with form problems and his latest title win dates back almost two years.

On Sunday, he gets the chance to lay his hands on a new trophy when it's time for the final against Jack Draper. The Briton beat world three Carlos Alcaraz – who won the title in California both 2023 and 2024 – with the scores 6–1, 0–6, 6–4 in the second semifinal.
