RUNE REACTS TO THE WALKOVER WIN AFTER TSITSIPAS RETIRES

“For sure (not the way he wanted to win). It is very unfortunate. You could see in the first service game, he was not serving as full as he can. For sure, something was up and when he called the physio I knew.

It’s a long season, I wish him all the best.”

Asked about his own form, he added: “The first match against Novak was a very good level match (from me), I think.

“I was very happy with the things I did. It was a weird feeling. I played well in that match and lost. I have never felt like that in my life… It shows how good Novak is.”
