PLAYERS SHAKING HANDS, SHAKING HANDS WITH UMPIRE STORY: Top seed Holger Rune battled back from a shaky start on Friday (October 17) to defeat Argentina's Tomas Martin Etcheverry 6-7(4) 6-3 6-4 and secure a spot in the Nordic Open semi-finals in Stockholm. The 22-year-old Dane struggled early on with 19 unforced errors in the first set alone and had to get his left thigh wrapped in the third but leaned on the strength of his serve, hitting 12 aces and winning 83% of first serve points (40/48). Rune, who lifted his second tour-level title in the Swedish capital in 2022, will face Frenchman Ugo Humbert in the semis after the fourth seed fought back to beat Italy’s Lorenzo Sonego 6-7(3) 6-0 6-3. Norway's Casper Ruud also had to come from behind to win his quarter-final. The second seed outlasted Sebastian Korda of the United States 6-7(5) 6-4 6-4 to book his spot in the last four of the ATP 250 event. (Production: Conal Quinn)
