Tennis - ATP Masters 1000 - Monte Carlo Masters - Monte Carlo Country Club, Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, France - April 12, 2024 Italy's Jannik Sinner shakes hands with Denmark's Holger Rune after winning their quarter final match REUTERS/Denis BalibouseItaly's world number two Jannik Sinner beat Holger Rune 6-4 6-7 6-3 in the quarter-finals of the Monte Carlo Masters on Friday after his Danish opponent saved two match points.
He looked far from fatigued as faced the Australian Open champion in bright sunshine but the 20-year-old also took on the crowd, who jeered and whistled at him while he also argued with the chair umpire over a line call. Sinner took the first set and looked destined to seal a straight-sets victory at 6-4 in the second set tiebreak, but Rune saved two match points once again - one with a superb cross-court forehand winner - before levelling the tie.
Tsitsipas arrived at the tournament with a 11-6 win-loss record this year but has fond memories of the Monte Carlo Masters where he won the title in 2021 and 2022.
