Regretfully, Holger Rune has been eliminated from the Madrid Open by…

Rune had a difficult time in his opening Madrid Open encounter, but he managed to make a dramatic comeback to stay in the competition. In the second set, the Dane appeared to be in a bad mood and almost lost the match due to a distraction. He eventually broke, allowing Navone to serve for the victory.

Rune began to gripe about the bright digital advertising boards around the court when the Argentine served at 4-5 in the second set. The 20-year-old was informed by umpire Renaud Lichtenstein that although he had previously requested that the issue be fixed, he would send another communication regarding it.

However, nothing happened for a long, and during the game, Rune kept muttering and making eye gestures whenever he lost a point. “Can we dim the flags in the rear on Atranxa Sanchez? It’s bright,” the umpire asked over his radio once more.
